Receiver almost complete

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The receiver which will be put into the car, is almost complete.
The prototype sender is ready as well.
Now I need to make some tests regarding range, time to get data flowing once the physical link is up and how deep we can put the XBee modules into sleep.

XBee Modules are working!

I received the pcb’s and could make some tests with the XBee Modules.
The connection is working, but seems slow.. need to investigate this.
To test them, I connected both onto my XBee-Arduino Shield (selfmade) and put the Arduino CPU’s in permanent reset state (GND -> RESET) so the Arduino acts as a connection to the USB-Serial Adapter.
