Hi,

I've recently jumped head first into the world of Arduino. I'm looking for some advice. I have 2 Arduino Unos and I would like to make them communicate with each other. Something simple like sending an int from one Uno to the other add 1 to that value and send it back. Maybe make the Unos flash an LED to indicate the current value of the int being passed back and forth. To do this I bout 2 Xbee Series 1 modules, but I didn't but any shields for them. I've looked around the net for possible shields and I've seen small ones, large ones, and ones that connect to USB. I'm looking for which shield to buy and from which vendor.

Thanks in advance

If you search the forum there are examples with ethernet and serial port

Wow that's pretty cool. I will definetly go home and try that after work today. I'd still like to know more about the Xbee modules though because I'd eventually like to do some wireless communication between arduinos in the future. And even more specificly like to know which xbee shield to buy. It looks like some don't sit well on top of the Uno.
