ZB 07b: Expansion board RX

This example shows how to receive packet via the Expansion board (SOCKET1).

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x XBee-ZigBee module 1 x Expansion Radio Board

Notes

- The coordinator must be turned on - This example belongs to a two-code example. This is the sending part. - The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12
