I'm just starting to work with the Xbee modules, have done several Arduino projects. I'm also reading a book on the subject and watched several YouTube videos, so I'm on the edge of clueless and dangerous.
I have 2 series 1 Xbee modules, using the Sparkfun Explorer Regulated boards to connect the Xbee to the Arduino. My project will only have these two communicating to each other, I'm making a rover that I will control per 1 Arduino and the on board one will send back info. I will be sending servo references and reading back from a GPS.
I know for one to one configuration I do not need API but from what I've read it seems a more efficient way to send data back and forth.
So my questions are.
- Can a Series 1 be set to API?
- Do I need to?
- If still in the AP mode can I send packets to and from each Arduino?
Thanks
John
