I have three XBee S1 modules and all of them fitted on to a Xbee shield which is fitted on a UNO board.
What I want to do is : Have one Xbee_01 as Co-ordinator and the other two Xbee_02 and Xbee_03 as End Points. I am not using the API mode as there is lot of data processing to be done by the Arduino and the co-ordinator simply has to pass on the received data to the cloud through WLAN. So its a simple transparent AT setup where XBee is only used for the radio link.
I have been reading similar questions and one was answered by mvut. The suggested setup was :
Coordinator
MY 0x01
DT0xFFFF
End node(s)
MY 0x02, 0x03, etc
DT0x01
Fine that appears easy. Some questions though :
- In a set up as above how many slaves can be there ?
- Can the Co-ordinator occasionally send some message to specific Slaves … like to reset the Arduino / change the sampling rate etc ?
Thanks for any tips.
