Hi guys! Im programming a multiple Arduino. With 2 nodes, node A and node B.
The base station (receiver) will receive both node A's and node B's data, although it will be confused which data is from node A or node B.
The method to send data using Zigbee is SoftwareSerial
Is there a library, or any method to know this?

Why?
There are several solutions for this.
One, using AT mode, is to send "A:xxxxxxxxxxxxx" from one node and "B:xxxxxxxxxxxxx" from the other node.
The other is to use API mode, where each packet sent contains the address of the source and the address of the destination. Andrew Rapp's XBee library makes sending and receiving in API mode easy.
Hi! Thank you for your response. But Im wondering if Andrew Rapp's XBee library is applicable to Zigbee module:

Will te libarary work on that?

That module is not an XBee, nor do I see where it claims to be compatible, so, no.
Are there any method that I can use using the zigbee module that I have?

Certainly there are, although I have no idea what they might be. The three-page "hardware manual" is only a high level overview; I see no detailed documentation.

Go back and read reply #1.
Okay. Im transmitting "Axxxx" and "Bxxxx"
Problem is the received data is in char. I somehow cant find to convert char to string. To be able to remove the A and B, it needs to be in String. Any idea on this? Ive searched the google, cant find one.

A string is a NULL terminated array of chars. There is NOT a way to make a single char into a string.
Well thanks anyways.
I found other way around to make it work.
