Someone known which is the router protocol of XBee?  
Is possible change this protocol?  
Thanks,

Dionne

If you have an XBee/XBee-PRO ZB, to change the protocol you’d actually use a different type of firmware.

If this isn’t a ZB module, you’ve posted in the wrong forum so disregard my answer.

Hi,  
I am a researcher in wireless sensor network and I need change the routing protocol to test my research in practice.  
I have 5 XBee/XBee Pro-ZB.  
How can I change the firmware to test my own routing protocol?

Thanks in advance,

Dionne Monteiro

Bom dia Dionne,

Eu acho que é possível sim trocar para usar o seu próprio protocolo de roteamento, então do XBee seria usado só o hardware, porque não temos acesso ao código fonte deles. Você teria que usar o Kit de desenvolvimento da EMBER porque o rádio e o microcontrolador que a DIGI usa são da EMBER.

Saudações.
