802 14b: Node search RX

This program shows how to set the node id, then waits for receiving a packet.

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 receiving 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
