A while ago I found this great little module from Digi called an XBee. They are little 2.4Ghz wireless modules with a whole bunch of nice features such as I/O passing!After having a bit of play with 2 set in transparent mode (put data into one and it will come out of the other) I thought it would be cool to have a go with some of the more advanced features.
With the datasheet in hand I dove into using API mode, and set out to create myself a library that can take care of all the complicated bits for me and allow me a simple communications interface.
A while later - having realised that it was actually quite a large job - I decided to open my code up to everyone. There are loads of XBee libraries for Java and some nice folk have released a library for Arduino.
This seems to be the only Linux C library I can find for the XBees. So here ya' go!
