Hi, i want to make a simple network sensor, i have a xbee series 1 2.4 digimesh, so i changed the firmware to 802.15.4, i have an arduino uno, and the question is how to communicate my xbee with arduino, to other xbee with temperature sensor, i read manuals, but i newbie in this case, i dont have another experience, but i know digital principles, i´m mechatronic engineer, but it´s the first time to use this transmmitters, ---

Go to Google search and type in “Arduino XBee”. ---

And you need atleast 2 Xbees. ---

SparkFun has a couple tutorials that might help you. The first is a general introduction to XBees and XCTU. [[https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ex … d-xctu/all](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/exploring-xbees-and-xctu/all)] The second describes setting up the XBee shield for Arduino, which sounds like a great fit for your project.

the problem is how to communicate xbee series 1, i have a four xbee´s, one as coordinator, and the other as a end device with temp sensor tmp36, the coordinator with the arduino uno, i made other test the arduino with temp sensor wired, so i want to made wireless temp sensor and read data with the arduino y and see data in the monitor serial, i see an other examples but i can not communicate, my models of xbee is XB24DM, the factory firmware is digimesh 2.4, but i change the firmware to 802.14.5 ---

have you read [http://www.digi.com/support/getasset?fn=90000982&tp=3](http://www.digi.com/support/getasset?fn=90000982&tp=3) You’ll need to understand this - it’s not a plug-and-play situation. Use the Arduino XBee library for the XBee series 1 with the IEEE 802.15.4 software. You can change to Digimesh later if you truly need meshing. Study the work of others’ contributed software.
