802 03: Receive packets

This program shows how to receive packets with XBee-802.15.4 modules.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote PRO 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 2 x XBee-802.15.4 modules (emitter & receiver)

Notes

- It is necessary to set a emitter Waspmote in order to receive packets with this example. The 802_02: Send packets can be used for this purpose. - The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
