Hey guys, I've been working with a mentor on a quadcopter, and we've gotten far enough that he bought an Xbee module to set up with it. I've found very little documentation on how exactly it's set up, and since it's summer I haven't seen him in a while and can't get much help from him.
That module is connected to this thing which is hooked up to the Arduino.
I downloaded xctung and set up the module with theUSB explorer to work with my wifi.
If I do a network scan, I can find the Xbee module when I turn the Arduino on. However, I'm not sure exactly how to communicate with it, and all the resources I've found online are telling me that I need two separate Xbee modules, one connected to a computer, the other to an Arduino. Is this still the case with the wifi module? Especially since it shows up in a network scan?
So I guess my question is, how do I send data from my computer to the Xbee over wifi? Using only one Xbee module?
Ah ok, so that's good news, then? I don't have to buy another Xbee (or whatever you'd prefer I call it)? And I fixed the links, you'll have to forgive me, I don't use forums very frequently.
I wired the Xbee up the Arduino like this: Xbee is attached to the regulated explorer, and wires are connected from GND-->GND, 3.3V-->3.3V, OUT-->Digital IO pin 3, IN-->Digital IO pin 4. I'm using an Arduino uno by the way.
Ok, still nothing working. I can ping the Xbee (when it's connected to the Arduino) and it has no packet loss. Does anyone have experience with the Xbee Arduino library?
