Hello today I was looking for the Xbee pin and I notice there are some pins labelled AD0/DIO. So I presume those pins are General Purpose Input Output or Analogue Input pins, but how can I use them or how those are suppose to work?
I mean what I would expect if I apply a signal in that pin?
I try to find some info in the manual but I don't see nothing about them
Well that's odd, is it the correct manual?
XBee 802.15.4 (f.k.a. S1)

XBee ZB (f.k.a. S2)

Thanks Jack
You are right.The manual i got was to incomplet.This one has more info and more well details.
Thanks for your time
Hugo, it's not clear exactly what you want to do, but this info from the adafruit page
may be of some interest. It pertains to XBee S1 module with recent firmware [the
firmware of early modules did not support GPIO over RF].

With this scheme, you can read a GPIO input pin on one XBee module and have it control
a GPIO output pin on the other XBee module - no need for a computer on either end.
Notice especially the XCTU screens where they set various GPIO pins to input or output.
Also, as an aside, from my experience, trying to use this scheme to upload sketches to
an Arduino does not work very well, but you can sure trigger the reset pin ok, :-).
I am also persuing this. I found a KB article:

I am not getting the expected results, but still working on it. Something is happening, as I can open a terminal session on the base in XCTU and see that when an input on the remote Xbee is changed, the data changes. However the output does not change. --Update: I could not find the parameter for IA in XCTU, so I missed that part. You have to use the terminal to send ATIAx (x=the address of the remote Xbee).
I think this is going to work very well: very cheap alternative to the $1000+ commercial options. Have you made any progress?
