Overview This is an Arduino library for communicating with XBees in API mode, with support for both Series 1 (802.15.4) and Series 2 (ZB Pro/ZNet).

xbee-arduino - Arduino library for communicating with XBees in API mode

This library Includes support for the majority of packet types, including: TX/RX, AT Command, Remote AT, I/O Samples and Modem Status. Note: This software requires API mode, by setting AP=2. If you are using Series 2 XBee, you'll need to install API Firmware with X-CTU (Series 2 are manufactured with with AT firmware), then set AP=2. This software will not work correctly with AP=1 Refer to XBeeConfiguration and WhyApiMode for more info. News 2/1/14 Release 0.5 is available. Documentation Doxygen API documentation is available in the downloads. Download Google Project Hosting no longer supports downloads. Example I have created several sketches of sending/receiving packets with Series 1 and 2 XBee radios. // Create an XBee object at the top of your sketchXBee xbee = XBee(); // Send your requestxbee.send(zbTx); Learning/Books Hardware XBee Shield Support.

XBee® Wireless RF Modules. XBee modules are available in a wide variety of RF frequencies used around the world.

XBee® Wireless RF Modules

Using a single XBee design, developers can support frequencies including: 2.4 GHz902 - 928 MHz865 - 868 MHz The XBee comes in two hardware footprints; Through-Hole and Surface Mount. This includes the 20-pin socket for TH, and 37 pads for the SMT, and these footprints take very little space on the PCB. Common footprint makes XBee modules interchangeableIdeal options for both low and high volume deployments XBee modules leverage multiple types of wireless protocols which are suitable for all sorts of different network architectures. Digi's programmable XBee Gateway connects XBee devices with cloud-based applications over Cellular, Wi-Fi or Ethernet. XBee RF Modems are a small, low-power solution that uses the XBee RF Module in an industrial enclosure to communicate with systems using RS-232, RS-485, and USB interfaces. PyOBD - Open-source OBD-II diagnostics. Uncanny valley. In an experiment involving the human lookalike robot Repliee Q2 (pictured above), the uncovered robotic structure underneath Repliee, and the actual human who was the model for Repliee, the human lookalike triggered the highest level of mirror neuron activity.[1] Etymology[edit] The concept was identified by the robotics professor Masahiro Mori as Bukimi no Tani Genshō (不気味の谷現象) in 1970.[5][6] The term "uncanny valley" first appeared in the 1978 book Robots: Fact, Fiction, and Prediction, written by Jasia Reichardt.[7] The hypothesis has been linked to Ernst Jentsch's concept of the "uncanny" identified in a 1906 essay "On the Psychology of the Uncanny".[8][9][10] Jentsch's conception was elaborated by Sigmund Freud in a 1919 essay entitled "The Uncanny" ("Das Unheimliche").[11] Hypothesis[edit] This area of repulsive response aroused by a robot with appearance and motion between a "barely human" and "fully human" entity is called the uncanny valley.
