Currently figuring my way through Zigbee setup with an eye to building a meshed sensor network. Working with Series2 radios, and have managed to get my first project working, happy days.
In the long run I may well need to use Digimesh to maximise battery life, but given that I already have the series 2 modules and the Faludi book on mesh networking, I would like to stick with Zigbee for now. Before I go too far down this road, I’d like to understand where it’s going to take me.
Are the inputs to the Xbee and the output data common to both protocols? i.e. will the sensor circuits I’m building now work with both, and will any work I do in Processing (or similar) for visualisation remain useful if I switch to Series 1 modules with Digimesh in the future?
