I’m using the ArduIMU+ V2 Flat to do camera stabilization. How would I go about trying to set up a wifi data link between the IMU and my laptop? I’m thinking that using an XBee Pro is a good idea, but how would i go about doing this?
XBee does not do WiFi!!!
Xbees are based on the 802.15.4 standard not 802.11

To use XBee, which as said, is 802.15.4 not 802.11/WiFi:
Buy an XBee on a board that has USB. SFE sells them, as do others.
Buy another XBee on a board with power regulator and if you need it, a microprocessor. Such as the Arduino XBee.
Be sure to get XBee series 1. Pro if the range is more than 100 ft. Line of Sight.
Now you have the stuff to do transparent serial port extension from the PC to the remote. Or, more elaborate protocols.
To do this with WiFi, it’ll cost a bit more. I suggest ConnectOne’s WiFi board which goes to a serial port.
So if i want to attach the XBee to a ArduIMU+ V2, you suggest I use the Arduino Xbee Shield on an Arduino and then connect the Arduino board to the ArduIMU+ V2?
