How to Handle an Unknown Number of XBee Modules

Requirements

2 or 3 XBee modules

2 or 3 XBee adapter boards

1 or 2 Solderless breadboards

1 USB-to-XBee adapter

1 USB cable—type-A to mini-B

1 Microcontroller with a serial port (ARM mbed or Arduino Uno)

1 5-V-to-3.3-V logic-conversion circuit or module (for Arduino Uno only)

1 3.3-V-to-5-V logic-conversion circuit or module (for Arduino Uno only)

3 LEDs

3 330-ohm, 1/4 watt, 10% resistors (orange-orange-brown)

1 4700-ohm, 1/4 watt, 10% resistor (yellow-violet-red)

1 10-kohm, 1/4 watt, 10% resistor (brown-black-orange)

1 10-kohm potentiometer

Terminal-emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Windows (for ARM mbed)
