I bought all the equipment, hooked it up as shown, programmed everything, turned it all one and nothing worked. I have checked everything three times. I need some help finding what's wrong.

@bisbeejim1 You'll need to be a bit more specific about what isn't working.

Hey Jeremy, Thanx For All Ur awesome tutorials they ROCK!.. ive watched them all actually :D

Anyway i wanted to ask u, is this tutorial applicable to Series 1 Xbees? (they have a function set of XBEE 802.15.4 Version 10E6)... because i previously followed another tutorial before coming across urs, i screwed things up because they were different versions, it bricked and i had a hard time Unbricking... Thanks

[sciguy14]

@mmowaffak Yes, this is for series 1.

is it possible to receive data from a serial port from the computer to arduino board and then send some data over xBee to another arduino?

[sciguy14]

@ds5221 Only if you utilize the multiple serial lines on the Arduino Mega.

How about a tutorial on sending a typed out sentence from a computer over XBee and have it display on an external display connected to the Arduino?

[umnajdi]

Thanks for all the videos! :D

So i need to create a network, with 5 arduinos

I want one of them to be something like a server and all of others only communicate with server, and server tell each of them what are the other arduinos are doing.

can i use XBEE? and um... id be happy if u just tell me what to use and ill find all the info about it my self, just a little guidance to the starting point please

[VRMN8R]

@VRMN8R I used the X-CTU program and have the Xbees programmed.

Dude your a hero. Thanks so much for doing these tuts.

[xtream1101]

Thank you very much, this was a great and easy to follow tutorial.

Dude you gotta move the curser when you re filming these videos haha

[thewild121]

can we make a serial wireless communication between the pc the arduino using the xbee?



[123456789robbie]

why not just send a raw byte over serial, instead of an ascii byte? because then you can have values 0 to 255, which is more resolution than the server can even handle

This is great. Really helped me learn in one day what would take months.
