![]() ![]() You can enter any 4 digit number between this Range.The other XBEE should also work under the same PANID.ĭH is destination High byte address,which we shall leave to default value 0.ĭL is Destination Low byte.Set this to 10. This is achieved by typing ATID followed by a 16 bit address,which is entered in HEX as 4 bytes.Valid range is 0000 to FFFF. Once you enter the command mode you’ve to feed the AT commands within 10 seconds.Otherwise it will enter the Transmit mode.Again you’ve to type +++ & wait.įor two XBEES to communicate, both should have same PANID. Just type & wait to enter the COMMAND MODE. Type 3 consecutive +++ symbols.Do not hit Enter key. Now at the Left hand side bottom you can see the confirmation that the Terminal is communicating with COM 5 with settings 9600 8 N 1. Under Terminal option check mark “ Local Echo “.This will enable you to see what you type under Terminal window.Ĭlick CONNECT to connect with the COM port where Arduino is connected. Note down the COM port allotted to the Arduino board under Device Manager of your PCĬlick on OPTIONS & under Serial Port make sure that the port allotted (COM5 in our case) is entered & Baud Rate setting : 9600 ,Data Bits : 8, Parity : None ,Stop Bits : 1 (9600 8N1). We shall make use of a simple Terminal Software COOLTERM. Please note This connection is only for Configuration Mode.While on working mode you’ve to interchange RX,TX connections. TX (1) of Arduino is connected to PIN 2 (DOUT) of XBEE. RX (0) of Arduino is connected to PIN 3 (DIN) of XBEE. ![]() If you are using Explorer board for XBEE, always connect 5v Arduino to power up the XBEE EXPLORER. ![]() Note that if you use 3.3v of Arduino to Explorer board of XBEE the code may not be executed.This is because the Explorer has inbuilt 3.3v regulator & if you feed 3.3v as input, the supply to XBEE may slightly drop down to 3v.This may cause malfunction. GND of Arduino is connected to pin 10 (GND) of XBEE.ĥV of Arduino is connected to pin 1 of XBEE EXPLORER BOARD.Īs XBEEs operate on 3.3V you should be extremely careful to ensure that the power to pin 1 of XBEE is always 3.3V.If you are using a breakout board,you can use 5V ,as the Breakout board has an inbuilt 3.3v regulator. Plug in the first XBEE on to the Breakout Board. Now you need to wire only 4 connections between Arduino & XBEE. Upload this Empty Sketch on to the Arduino UNO board.Now the Boot loader is bypassed & only the USB-UART portion of Arduino is used. Just Load an empty Sketch on to the Arduino UNO. If you are not comfortable removing the chip,there is an easier Hack. You can carefully Remove the AtMega328 controller IC from the Arduino UNO.Ģ. To start with we’ve to configure the Series 1 XBEE Radios.For this we shall make use one of the Arduino boards.The USB –UART portion of the Arduino is used for this purpose.But the Arduino Boot Loader residing under the AtMega328 chip of Arduino will take over command as soon as you power the board.To Bypass the Boot loader there are two methods.ġ. & Connecting Wires ,USB A-B cable,LED, Mini Buzzer. In this workshop we shall see how to communicate between two Arduinos Wirelessly using XBEE Radios.
