Hi people,
I'm bought these
http://seeedstudio.com/wiki/Relay_Shield_V1.0
hoping that I could get two Uno's with two of the seeed relay shields and two xbee pro S1's to communicate.
According to the Seeed wiki you are able to send commands to the relays wirelessly but I can't get it to work. Normally I would just mess with it until I could get it to work but I don't have time. I am supposed to use this project for work by this Monday, 3/25/13!
Anyway, if I understand it right the xbee on the shield has no communication with the Uno. So the Uno can directly control the relays, and the xbee can directly control the relays but the xbee cannot control the relays THROUGH the arduino. Unfortunately this is exactly what I need it to do.
If you have experience with this shield please let me know if my assumptions are correct.
I've already ordered the SEEED relay board V2.0 http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/relay-shield-v20-p-1376.html which hopefully when combined with an xbee shield http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Shield-Module-Arduino-Duemilanove/dp/B006TQ30TW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1363807669&sr=1-1&keywords=Xbee+Shield+Moduleon top will do what I need.
