802 04a: Send unicast @16b

This program shows how to send packets with XBee-802.15.4 modules. The destination address is set as a 16-bit network address.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote PRO 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x XBee-802.15.4 module

Notes

- This example belongs to a two-code example. This is the sending part. - Both XBee modules must be configured with the same network parameters (PANID, channel, encryption mode) - The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
