Wireless RC Robot with Arduino and XBee

Wireless Remote	Assembled RedBot

Example code using the wireless remote controller (SAMD21) to control the SparkFun RedBot (ATmega328P) via XBee. A character is pipelined between two serial UARTs using a pair of XBee Series 1 Transcievers. Make sure to use software serial example code for the RedBot to avoid bricking your XBee. This expands on SparkFun Inventor's Kit for RedBot.

XBee w/ Series 1 Firmware: Point to Point Configuration

Digi Tutorial: XBee 802.15.4 (i.e. Wireless Serial)

• Master XBee (Transmitting, Controller)

  • CH = C
  • ID = 3333
  • DH = 0
  • DL = 1
  • MY = 0

• Slave XBee (Receiving, RedBot)

  • CH = C
  • ID = 3333
  • DH = 0
  • DL = 0 <- point to Master "MY"
  • MY = 1 <- Slave "MY", make it unique in the network.
