Experiment 22

Exploring Cyclic-Sleep Operations

Requirements

2 XBee modules

1 XBee adapter board

1 Solderless breadboard

1 USB-to-XBee adapter

1 USB cable—type-A to mini-B

2 LEDs

2 330-ohm resistors, 1/4 watt, 10% resistor (orange-orange-brown)

1 10-kohm potentiometer

Digi X-CTU software running on a Windows PC, with an open USB port

Introduction

In this experiment you will learn how to use the cyclic-sleep capabilities of XBee modules in a network. These capabilities let you place modules in sleep modes that save power and extend battery life. Keep in mind the cyclic-sleep modes do not let communications occur ...
