868LP 10: Node search TX

This program shows how to search for a specific node inside the XBee's network. Once the node has been found a packet is sent to this node.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x XBee 868LP

Notes

- The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v15
