CP400P Wireless Communication and Networks

Project Weeks III to V

Objectives

1. To use a Zigbee shield on the Arduino
2. To communicate with another Zigbee device

Equipment

• Arduino Uno board
• XBee shield
• Sharp LCD display
• GPS or RFID

Procedure

Setup

1. Attach the Zigbee shield, and get the previous device working as before.
2. Configure the Zigbee interface to communicate with the other group's board.
   You'll want to be able to have either board be the master or the slave.
   Can they create an ad hoc network without each being predefined as either master or slave?
3. Have the two boards exchange information over the Zigbee interface, so that both displays will show RFID and GPS data.
   
   Demonstrate your working program to the lab instructor.
   Show your pin assignments on the diagram.
