hi…i need help… i need to use two zigbee modules to act as simple cable replacement… the modules that i have come with zstack v1.3…
i downloaded a copy of zstack v1.4 and i found out that they have just the application i need which is the serial cable replacement sample application. however, they programmed it to work on texas developed zigbee modules…
my big problem is how to modify/edit that sample application for the zigbee modules i have…(firmware development) the modules i have operates on atmega128L-8mi and cc2420 radio…
in order to do this project, i think a very in-depth knowledge for complete familiarization is needed which i cannot achieve in minimal time…

If you are pressed for time, buy a pair of Digi/Maxstream XBee series 1 modules $20 or so. There’s a standard wireless UART (Hayes modem-like) firmware load for these, Plug and play. XBee PRO series 1 is the same, but has 50mW RF instead of 1mW as in the non-PRO. I think these are sold by SFE.
(for point to point cable replacement, or the Star topology, you don’t want to use ZigBee, but rather, the IEEE 802.15.4 mode without using ZigBee. Using a mesh like ZigBee doesn’t make sense for wireless UART application. ZigBee is a network layer atop IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY, much as IP is a network layer atop 802.3 or 802.11)
