XBee-Based-Serial-Communication-using-Arduino

A set of codes that aids to accomplish the simple task of serial communication using Digi International's XBee wireless radio modules.

Getting Started

Serial communication

An XBee module can operate as a stand-alone device or it can be attached to an intelligent device. For example, you can place several battery-powered XBee modules in remote locations to gather data such as temperature, humidity, light, or liquid level.

  • When operating as a stand-alone device, an XBee module simply sends sensor data to a central node.
  • When an XBee module is connected to an intelligent device (such as a computer, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi), it uses serial communication:
    • The intelligent device sends data through the serial interface to the XBee module to be transmitted to other devices over the air.
    • The XBee module receives wireless data from other devices, and then sends the data through the serial interface to the intelligent device.

The XBee modules interface to a host device such as a microcontroller or computer through a logic-level asynchronous serial port. They use a UART for serial communication with those devices. BASS
