Introduction

In Experiment 4 you learned how an XBee transmitter (XMTR) can send digital (on/off) information to an XBee receiver module (RCVR). XBee modules also can communicate voltage information. When you change the voltage on a pin at a transmitter module an output on a receiver will change its output accordingly. Each XBee XB24 module ...
