XBEE Module

XB24-BWIT-004 module, ZIGBEE XBEE ZNET 2.5

The Xbee is the brand name from Digi International for a family of form factor compatible radio modules. Using 2 of this module, we can set up a wireless communication using the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. One of the module will be written and configured into a Coordinator. The device will issue an 802.15.4 beacon request command on multiple channels (frequencies) after the device has started a PAN (Personal Area Network). This is where the other module comes in play, we write and configure the other to be the End Device. This End Device will locate and join the PAN. Note that this module have a PAN ID, so make sure to set the ID (range between 0x0000 ~ 0xFFFF) similar for both modules. For our project, we set them to a PAN ID of 0x1AAA.
