XBEE multiple Arduino API mode

Hi everyone,

for my college project i use Arduino Unos and XBee Series 2 devices. One Arduino and XBee is set as master device(Coordinator) and other ones as slaves(Routers).

I use GitHub - andrewrapp/xbee-arduino: Arduino library for communicating with XBee radios in API mode and I successfully set up communication with all slave modules using this subpage GitHub - andrewrapp/xbee-api: Java library for communicating with XBee radios.

So one one side you send package with

ZBTxRequest zbTxON= ZBTxRequest(remoteAddress1, ping, sizeof(ping));

and on ther other side you read with with XBee.readPacke();

I have no problem with that.

But...

Slave modules are on remote location and sometimes problems occur and code stops and I have to reset slave module with button.

My question is, if there is any possibility to send package from master module to slave's XBee, and this XBee would give Digital output on one pin which is connected to Arduino reset pin?

Thanks for help in advance!

Best regards,

Yes. Whether that is useful, or not, depends on what problem you are trying to solve, and how you plan to hold the reset switch down long enough.
