Receiving data

Now you have set up an XBee module to transmit data, the next step is to receive this data again on another module. The default firmware and configuration are probably sufficient for this but if they do not work, connect the second module to XCTU using your Explorer board and update the firmware to the ZigBee Router AT version (XBee ZB S2/S2B only) and check the DH and DL values.

To set up your second XBee module, you will use an Arduino Uno and the SparkFun XBee shield to forward all received data to the computer. Again, if you want to use different hardware, skip ahead to Chapter 2, Collecting Sensor Data, which has more details on how to connect an XBee module to an Arduino and how to modify the sketch to support a different setup. ...
