How to program Xbee OEM series 2 Modules

1 New Member
Hello,
We are doing a wireless sensor network project using Xbee modules as our University Final year project. We have bought some Xbee Series 2 modules and Two XBIB-U-DEV (and XBIB-R-DEV) development kits ( USB and RS 232)
The was a small software came with them in a CD. Its called as X-CTU. It only has a range test. We couldn't programm motes as we wish through that development kit.Is there any IDE to do that? Any software?
We are confused how to do that.Please be kind enough to help us!!!

The XBEEs are not a microprocessor, you do not "program" them persay. They have a few abilities that you can enable/disable and some settings, but you need a smarter device to control the XBees.

The problem is, I have not been able to understand the conversation flow for the XBEE API and was wondering if anyone was familiar with it? My scenario is this: I have multiple probes with the XBEE products, each with their 16bit MY...

Anyhow, I would like to ask if anyone if familiar with the XBee Pro, here, and documentation is available here. The documents don't match the product exactly, the links from the product page ended up to the documents page I supplied. The difference between the models are just the effective range (I think), and the models are...
