My kit arrived on Friday for the Dare to Dream Different Challenge. Very very cool. The only minor disappointment was that the supplied XBee modules were Series 1. Fortunately, I had a few 2.5 modules laying around from a past project that I upgraded to ZB.
Fortunately for me, Michael Schwarz created a library that contains code to talk to 2.5 and later modules for the desktop and micro frameworks. After a few hours of leaning how his library worked (and not worked with Series 1) and upgrading XBee modules, I started work on one piece of my project. Here’s a screenshot of the application (so far) running showing my little XBee network:
So far, I have only used the desktop part of his library. I hope to try out the Micro Framework version soon. But first, I need to send RSS data between two modules.
Also, thanks to Dan for answering yet another one of my newbie WPF questions, this time about data binding.
