Again, this mimics the future bathroom monitor system, where inputs will be processed by a microcontroller and transmitted to a receiving microcontroller, which will change its outputs accordingly. At this point, you will need to solder the headers on your Explorer boards. Connect the ground and 3. Connect the power and ground rails of the breadboard to the 3. Input-Side Button Circuit. I chose to use the SoftwareSerial library and Arduino pins 2 and 3 rather than the default pin 0 and 1 for serial communication , so that I could use the default serial pins for printing debug statements to a serial monitor.
Connect your button to the Arduino as shown in the diagram above. I wanted the button to default to logic low when not pressed, so I added a pull-down resistor to my circuit. Your first Arduino is now set up! Make sure that the LED is in the right orientation. At this point, I like to debug my circuit by writing a quick Arduino sketch to make sure that my LED and button are functioning as expected.
Otherwise, I might conflate a communication issue with a simple wiring or port setting issue. Using Arduinos makes the demo code fairly simple, although the final Callaloo will be a custom PCB design, not a pre-made development board i.
On the input button side, we are checking for a button input and writing a character to the XBee via a serial connection. On the output side, we are checking if we received a certain character, and if so, turning on the LED by setting that bit high. Now you should have a basic XBee network up and running! The next step for the Callaloo system is to expand the XBee network with more modules and prototype the bathroom door sensors.
Hello Jaime, This is great tutorial and I appriciate you. When I select transparent mode none of the symbols for C,R,E are not appear. And I can not establish communication between two antennas. The loggs that I entered from the console,appear in the same console with different color. What the problem is in your point of view?
Thank you Jamie, I got some idea on X bee and I am trying on x bee pro bhp modules for water tank automation , kindly share your ideas for communication between the said modules!
Its really very informative article. I found answer to a lot of my questions about xbee.

There is no need to search any further in the folder. Then left-click 'OK'. You will need to install a second driver for the same device. Follow the steps , as before, and use the same driver folder too!
Congratulations, you now have the proper FTDI drivers and can begin to use your device! The factory drivers are not complete. OS X Click on the link for the "Mac OS X The image below shows version 2.
If there is an update to the drivers by FTDI, the version number will change but it should be in the same location on the table. If you are using the driver for OS X Open up the driver file that corresponds with your operating system. For most users, it will be the second file:. Now open the Arduino IDE. Congratulations, you're all set! On newer versions of OS X, when you double-click the install packages inside the FTDI disk image, you may be presented with a very Windows-esque type error about not being able to open the files because they are not from an identified developers.
This is very similar to the unsigned driver issue in Windows 8. Then select open from the menu. You will then be given another window asking if you are certain. Click Open, and proceed with the installation as stated above. For a more permanent fix, you can follow these instructions.
Under the General tab, you should see a section about allowing the running of downloaded applications from specific sources. In preveious version of OS X, the default was set to Anywhere. However, the defualt setting is now Mac App Store and identified developers. First, you may need to click on the little lock icon and enter your admin password to make these changes. Once unlocked, click the Anywhere option. Another obnoxious window may appear asking you if you're sure you want to allow this.
Click Allow from Anywhere. Or, you can follow the directions in this window, if you don't want to make your Mac "less secure. With Mac OS However, there seems to be some conflict between drivers from FTDIchip. Luckily, there is a solution to this problem, and it comes from FTDI directly. In order to get around this, the Apple supplied Driver must be uninstalled.
Download Script Here. Clicking on this file will bring up the Script Editor on all Macs. The script can be run by clicking on the run icon black triangle. Again, make sure your FTDI device is connected. You can make this script into a clickable icon by exporting the script as an application.
Enter Device Manager in the search box, and tap or click Device Manager. In the list of hardware categories, double-tap or double-click the category your device is in and then double-tap or double-click the device you want. For example, to see your video card, tap or click Display adapters , and then double-tap or double-click the video card name. Tap or click the Driver tab, tap or click Update Driver , and then follow the instructions.
You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice. Occasionally, you might see a notification that a driver is unsigned, has been changed since it was signed, or can't be installed by Windows. We recommend that you don't install unsigned or changed drivers. A digitally signed driver includes a digital signature, which is an electronic security mark that indicates the publisher of software and whether someone has tampered with it since it was signed.
If a driver has been signed by a publisher that has verified its identity with a certification authority, you can be confident that the driver comes from that publisher and hasn't been changed. If you see any of the following notifications when you're installing a driver, you should stop the installation and go to your device manufacturer's website to get a digitally signed driver for your device.
The driver doesn't have a digital signature or has been signed with a digital signature that wasn't verified by a certification authority. You should only install this driver if you got it from the manufacturer's disc or from your system administrator. The driver hasn't been digitally signed by a verified publisher.
The driver might have been changed to include malware that could harm your PC or steal info. In rare cases, legitimate publishers do change drivers after they've been digitally signed, but you should only install an unsigned driver if you got it from a device manufacturer's disc. Unfortunately, there's no trustworthy source of info that indicates who has published an unsigned driver.
