868LP 12: Power level

This program shows how to set and read the power mode at which the XBee module transmits at. Parameter Range: 0 - 4(default)

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

Code

/*  
 *  ------   [868LP_12] - set/get the power level     -------- 
 *  
 *  Explanation: This program shows how to set and read the power mode
 *  at which the XBee module transmits at. Parameter Range: 0 - 4(default)
 *
 *  0 = +3 dBm, (2 mW) 
 *	1 = +7 dBm, (5 mW)
 *	2 = +10 dBm, (10 mW)
 *	3 = +12 dBm, (16 mW)
 *	4 = +14 dBm, (25 mW)
