XBee Progress

Posted by admin on September 9, 2013
Posted in: Other Stuff.

I’ve gotten both the client and master widgets working in terms of downloading and testing code. The display on the throttle is working great, the keyboard, not so much. Spent half a day before I realized I had wired the switch matrix sideways. Software comes up short when the h/w is hooked up wrong, eh?

The client node is simple, not much there other than the xbee interface via a dedicated serial link.

I have one more set of parts for the computer node, have not put them together yet. Really don’t need them that much now that I think about it, the Parallax xbee usb board I have should do it- but not sure yet.

9-12-2013: Have not had much time to finish up the keyboard but hopefully that will be done by the weekend. Other household repairs and refurbishments are taking up my time but they need to be finished up over the next few months as we move toward the cooler weather.
