XBee Wireless Control Research

Setup Instructions

  1. Download and install XCTU
  2. Connect XBee to laptop USB port
  3. In XCTU, press the Discover button, select the correct COM port (or select all if you're not sure), and hit Next
  4. Select all, then uncheck all Baud Rate options besides 9600 (if 9600 doesn't work you'll have to select all and wait for it to try every baud rate)
  5. Click the gear icon to open configuration mode
  6. Change the parameters to match the below configuration and press Write
    a. The Destination Address (DH and DL) must be the Serial Number (SH and SL) of the other XBee
    b. The ID (HP and ID) must be the same for both XBees
    c. All other parameters can be reset to their default values

Usage Instructions

  • Connect one XBee to the laptop USB port, select the port in Arduino IDE and open the Serial Monitor
  • Connect one XBee to the Arduino's GND, 5V, RX, and TX pins (corresponding to XBee breakout board GND, 5V, DOUT, and DIN pins)
  • The XBee should function the same way as Serial

  • MAC Address: 0013A2004106B0B9
  • Serial Number High (SH): 13A200
  • Serial Number Low (SL): 4106B0B9
  • Destination Address High (DH): 13A200
  • Destination Address Low (DL): 415BAA36
  • Preamble ID (HP): 0
  • Network ID (ID): 7FFF

XBee 2: "BAA" (mounted on Hexapod)

  • MAC Address: 0013A200415BAA36
  • Serial Number High (SH): 13A200
  • Serial Number Low (SL): 415BAA36
  • Destination Address High (DH): 13A200
  • Destination Address Low (DL): 4106B0B9
  • Preamble ID (HP): 0
  • Network ID (ID): 7FFF
