DIY (Do It Yourself) Project - XBee Accelerometer Demo
This project aims to be an open source hardware/software platform, which can be used for learning about getting accelerometer's data, configuring XBee modules and managing custom USB peripherals. All the hardware schematics and well commented software source codes are available on the attached project files:

  • hi am doing similar project which to just get the aclerometer data out and reading it using xbee .

    could you tell me how can i read the data out using matlab please ??

  • @RianMukred Hi, you can load the easyusb library and then use its functions (connect, read, disconnect). Take a look in the software source code and in the docs in order to understand how to receive and parse the packets from the xbee.

  • How you did the analog-digital conversion to acquire the accelerometer's data?

  • @fjcruces The A/D conversion is performed within the XBee module.

  • Xbee ADC is up to 1.2v right? Accelerometer board goes up to 3.3v!? Any problems with this?

  • @mepickulongtime It depends on the XBee model.

    The XBee used in this project has an external voltage reference for A/D inputs (VREF) applied to pin 14.

    It can be in the range from 2.08V to VCC (refer to the XBee datasheet v1.xEx [2009.09.23] Table 1-04).

    Then, according to the schematics, in this project VREF = VCC = 3.3V.

see all
