Creating a DigiMesh network with XBee Series 1 and Arduino One

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hello,

I want to create a DigiMesh network between Arduinos using XBee modules, but I'm having trouble in finding documentation and guides in how to implement it. I only find informations about implementing it with Waspmote modules.

The XBees I'm using is "XB24-AWI revE" and the Arduino is "Uno R3".

My project is to implement gaz sensors in the Arduino modules and make them send the data wirelessly to a server, where it will be stored.

Any information would be very helpful!

Thanks,

You bought the wrong kind. Now, get the right kind.

You can use this for DigiMesh, but you have to change the firmware. That is easy done with the X-CTU application from Digi (Select the modem type "XB24-DM" and firmware "XBee DigiMesh 2.4" firmware and force a firmware upgrade). You will also find the documentation for DigiMesh on the digi site.

Digi.com quote: "XBee DigiMesh 2.4 hardware note: The XBee and XBee-PRO DigiMesh 2.4 share hardware with the XBee and XBee-PRO 802.15.4 modules. As a result, these modules can be “converted” from one platform to another by loading different firmware onto a given module."

Good luck!
