900HP 04a: Send broadcast

This program shows how to send packets with XBee-900HP modules. Broadcast address (0x000000000000FFFF) is specified as destination address

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x MicroUSB wire 1 x XBee-PRO 900HP

Notes

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