Hi Guys, I’m new to Arduino and XBees.
I am using 3 Xbee Series 1, 1 Arduino Xbee Shield and 1 Arduino Uno Rev3 to build a real-time wireless current sensor to be in various parts of my room.
This is what I plan to do:
2 Remote XBees which are each connected to 1 current sensor,
1 ‘Coordinator’ XBee mounted on the Xbee shield which is mounted on the Arduino Uno Rev3 and connected to PC.
The remote Xbees will have ADC enabled on DIO1 and will transmit the data to the Coordinator that is connected to the Arduino to perform calculations and display the numerical value of the current being sensed.
Current Sensor used is ACS713(20Amps).
I would like to know the configuration of each XBee using API mode in X-CTU software(I’m running on Windows) and the sketch to use in Arduino v1.0.1 to receive the packets. The calculations to display will be fine because I have simple programming knowledge.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
