Hello,
I am recently using Xbee radios.I need to develop a relay network using 3 radios.how is it possible?
I am using X-CTU software.
Is it possible to develop a relay network using only X-CTU software.
And i have another doubt.Is C or Matlab programming is possible in Xbee's.
If so how can we do it.
Please answer to my doubts.
Thanks

You can program in anything you want, the code doesn't run on the XBees.
The XBee's expose their interface as a UART (TTL I believe?, they only do like 3Volt signals)
As for how to make a network out of them, that's not really for us to decide. Its up to you. You could read up on network topology, i'm sure wikipedia has some good entries on it.
Me, I would probably just broadcast a propriatary message format. Each XBee examines the message, and if it is the first time they have seen it and its not directed to them, they re-broadcast it. Otherwise they either ignore it or respond with a response broadcast of somesort.
Thank you for your information Plater.
How will your Xbee decide that message is for it or not.

You would write code on a smart type device (a microcontroller perhaps, or a real computer if you don't have access to that type of hardware)
And then examine the message content to see if it was directed at that particular xbee
can you please expalin in detali or mail me to my ID ritusingh.xxx@g mail.com
what type of micro-controller r u using?
do u mean we need to program the microcontroller and give the data to xbee and transmit it to the other xbee?
Please explain me in detail.Thanking you.

Any micro-controller with a compatible UART will work, I currently use the PIC microcontroller s (I think microchip is the official brand)
But you could build your code on the computer just fine if you are using the XBIBs
hello Plater
I am sending data through API data frame.how can we get the RSSI value from it.
How to capture that data?
is it possible through CRO?
Plater 7,872

The API data frame has a byte dedicated to RSSI. Check the API manual to see which byte it is
I am using xbib rs-232 board.how to program xbee radio to it?
Is C or Matlab programming compatible with these radios?

I don't think you are getting me.
YOU DO NOT WRITE CODE THAT RUNS ON THE XBEE.
You don't write code that goes on a mouse or a keyboard(* well there are fancy keyboards but still)
You write code that talks over a serial port, and the xbee listens.
I suggest you actually LOOK at the documentation that goes with the XBEEs

I have been at odds with our network guy over an application that is designed
to send alert emails to accounts outside of our domain to users. The issue is
the mail server is not set for "open relay" so any Mail.Send() that is to an

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...

hi,
I have imported Xbee modules (XB24-BWIT-004) and Xbee starter pro development kit. It has XBIB-U-DEV and XBIB-R-Dev development kits with 10 Xbee motes and two Xbee pro motes. So I have configured the codewarrior development environment in my PC (Windows XP) and also I have configured the TOSSIM environment with Cygwin (on the same platform). So I need to know, how I should start to program the Xbee motes using nesC programming language....

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
