ZB 07a: Expansion board TX

Search…
This example shows how to use two XBee modules simultaneously in Waspmote using the Expansion board. Two different objects are created in this code, each one is used for each module. One is connected in the standard socket (SOCKET0) and the other one is connected to the Expansion board (SOCKET1)
Required Materials
 1 x Waspmote
 1 x Battery
 1 x MiniUSB wire
 2 x XBee-ZigBee module (one for each socket)
 1 x Expansion Radio Board
Notes
 - The coordinator must be turned on
 - The battery has to be connected.
 - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12
