Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x XBee-DM module

Notes

Parameter Range: 0 - 4(default)

Parameter XBee XBee-PRO 0 : -7dBm 10dBm 1 : -1.7dBm 12dBm 2 : -0.77dBm 14dBm 3 : -0.62dBm 16dBm 4 : 1.42dBm 18dBm

REMARKS: Check your country's Restrictions

- The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12
