How it works

All XBee applications should import the xbee DigiMesh library for Python. We can set the serial port for each XBee module. You can change this serial port to one of your liking.

import time 
from xbee import DigiMesh 
import serial 
 
#PORT = 'COM7' 
PORT = '/dev/cu.usbserial-A9CNVHXX' 
BAUD_RATE = 9600 
 
# Open serial port 
ser = serial.Serial(PORT, BAUD_RATE) 
 
# Create API object 
xbee = DigiMesh(ser, escaped=True) 
import pprint 
pprint.pprint(xbee.api_commands) 

In the XBee reader application, we listen for incoming messages from XBee by calling the wait_read_frame() function. After a message is received, we decode the data by calling the decodeReceivedFrame() function.

while True: try: data = xbee.wait_read_frame() decodedData = decodeReceivedFrame(data) ...
