DM 03: Receive packets

This example shows how to receive packets with XBee modules

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x XBee-Digimesh

Notes

- There must be a XBee module sending packets - Both XBee modules must be configured with the same network parameters (PANID, channel and encryption mode) - The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12
