Is it possible to get the Arduino with a XBee sheild to communicate w/ the computer using one board? If so would you be able to upload sketches to the board wirelessly?
I don't care much about uploading code wirelessly as much as being able to communicate arduino -> pc without a second arduino. I believe i have to buy a USB XBee reciever and transmitter or something.
Would be nice if someone could explain, i am looking to get one for my arduino.
Thanks.

The problem is not sending wireless , But having to reset it.
I have to manually press the reset button on the board .
I use a xbee explorer for the pc end , and use a xbee shield or Xbee - Simple Board
The other.

Hi Peter, I would think an Arduno board at the same price as the XBee explorer would have been a better choice, why did you go with the XBee explorer?
I wanted the xbee explorer just to connect to the PC, for updating and data collection .
Wow , I had a second look at the links I posted , I didn`t think I paid that much for it.
I didn`t !!!!
