xbee question

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 13 years ago

HI there guys,

 

My project is to connect one transmitting xbee to arduino 

 

I also have a  receiving xbee (both series 1) I want that the receiving Xbee will show up a "hello world" that got sent from the transmitter XBee and display it on an LCD 16X2 screen

 

I'm quite baffled how am I supposed to do that? code wise,wiring wise...I've searched the web and couldn't find an answer maybe you could help me out plz?

 

 

thanks from advance chen (or grace its the same in Hebrew image )

    you'll need the following http://www.digi.com/support/kbase/kbasperesultdetl?id=2125 to update and program your xbees https://code.google.com/p/xbee-arduino/ the xbee arduino library http://arduino.cc…

    Chen I might be wrong but you could try this. I suspect your lcd.print(Serial.read()); is treating what it reads as an integer, rather than a character, so when you print its simply a number rather than…

    By hyper terminal, do you mean the serial monitor?  Simply stated, instead of doing the Serial.writeln(" Hello World ") you would myLCD.writeln(" Hello World ").  The myLCD library is created using the techniques and library provided by the vendor/distributor/manufacturer of the LCD.

    I'm using arduino interface ...myLCD is another library? (I know the liquidcrystal libraray)

     

    but anyway I think I understand what you mean

     

    I understand that anyway's that the LCD have to be attached to an arduino and I only have 1 (mega2560 r3) so what i will try to do is other way around (connect the transmitter xbee to the pc and send a msg from the XCTU and try and display it to the receiver connected to lcd screen (and the two of them will be connected to the arduino) and order another board and then try again
