Week 2

Components arrived: Xbee *2, Transistor DS18B20

Task: Wireless connected 2 Xbees, with one Xbee connected to the PC.

Task Response: Due to the lack of the requested components, professor Smith supplied us a Xbee

shield and an Arduino board. By using the limited equiments we finish half of the task, which

includes the connection between one Xbee and the PC.

Software enviorment: X-CTU ver.5.2.7.5 http://www.digi.com/support/productdetail?pid=3352&osvid=57&type=utilities

Problems encountered:

1. X-CTU can not communicate with the Xbee.

We finally solveed this problem by moving the jumper, which is over the Arduino board, to the USB connection side, after that, the PC found the Xbee after we pressed the restart button on the Arduino board and selected the 9600 baud on X-CTU.

The connecting result capture is shown below:
