Using Xbees to control relays

[vimpelleonleon]

but x bee must be programmed?

[enticed2zeitgeist]

You should hold some kind of Arduino hackers camp or just straight up open a school :D

[inspiredStudent]

how do you wire it without a shield?

[JacobRafaelSherman]

@inspiredStudent  use a protoboard and get a wireless xbee transiever from sparkfun, read the schem and connect as needed to the arduino

This is very similar to what I need. I am wanting to use the XBee for a simple application, but the range of the device makes it a suitable choice. Could you tell me what pins you use for the input to the transmitter and what pins you use for the receiver? Is the receiver OPEN collector? Do you have a schematic or a listing of the pins on each module that you use? thanks, vic

That's pretty cool. So using something like this I can turn on my bedroom lights without getting up. :)
