Experiment 19
How to Set Up a Small XBee Network
Objective: Understand how to associate modules in a network as they turn on, how to “take attendance” of associated End-device modules, how to address modules by name, and how to detect network errors. This experiment includes critical information about how to reset a Coordinator module.
Requirements
2 or 3 XBee modules
1 or 2 XBee adapter boards

1 USB-to-XBee adapter
1 USB cable—type-A to mini-B
2 LEDs
2 330-ohm, 1/4-watt, 10% resistors (orange-orange-brown)
Digi X-CTU software running on a Windows PC, with an open USB port
Introduction
In previous experiments you learned how to communicate with remote XBee modules and query them to determine serial numbers, obtain ...
