Then try setting analog values, or reading from pins. Maybe try making it more advanced -- have a
button press trigger an XBee communication. Or send an alert when an analog input rises past a
certain threshold.
This example barely scrapes the surface of what the Arduino-XBee combination is capable of.
XBee's allow you to
from the comfy confines of your computer. Or you
can set up a network of XBees to monitor
conditions in every room, while logging
to a single computer.
The power of XBees comes from their simplicity -- they make your projects wireless by simply
"serial printing".
