USING XBEE WITH COOLTERM SERIAL
In the first case use the Serial Monitor in Arduino to send and receive messages. You need two Teensy boards, two XBee modules and two computers OR one Teensy board, two XBee module, one XBee Explorer and one computer to test the wireless communication.

Upload the program on to your Teensy board using USB connection to your computer. Use the Teensy USBtoSerial Example (file->examples->teensy->USB_Serial->USBtoSerial) to test the wireless connection. send ATDL, you should receive you current Destination address low 2.send ATDL 2 to set you Destination address low to 2 (send ATDL ffff to broadcast), you should receive OK.send ATDH 0 to set Destination address high to 0 (we use 16bit address), you should receive OK.send ATMY, you should receive your current My address 1.send ATMY 1 to set your My address to 1, you should receive OK.send ATID, you should receive the current pan ID 3002.sent ATID 3002 to set PAN ID to 3002, you should receive OK.send +++ to enter command mode, you should receive OK.If you use a serial terminal program you can use the AT commands to configure the XBee module set Destination address low to any unique My address of a different module that this module wants to talk to or to ffff if you want this module to broadcast to every other module in the network.set Destination address high to 0 (we use 16bit address).set My address to a unique address for each module.Every Xbee module in your network need to have the same PAN ID in order to communicate to each other. in the tab Modem Configuration click Read.

The easiest way to program the XBee module is to use a XBee Explorer and X-CTU or a serial terminal program like Tera Term, HyperTerminal for Windows and CoolTerm, Zterm for Mac.

XBee supply voltage is 2.1 – 3.6 V! Use these instructions to change Teensy’s operation voltage to 3.3V. Connect Teensy supply power pin (VCC) to XBee module power pin (pin 1).Connect Teensy ground pin (GND) to XBee module ground pin (pin 10).XBee Seris 1 datasheet Connect Teensy to the XBee module The different package structures can be found in the data sheet 3.4.1 API Frame Specifications. Using API operation you are able to transmit data to multiple destinations without entering Command mode, get receive success and failure status, and identify the source address of the received package. When the module receives an RF packet, the data is sent out the DO pin with no additional information. API operation requires that communication with the module be done through a structured interface. You can also broadcast to every module in the network by setting the destination address to ffff. You set a fix destination address, this means that this XBee modul will only talk to the XBee module in its network that has this specific destination address as my address. Transparent Operation is easier to get started with, it acts as a replacement of the serial communication. There are two XBee operation modes, transparent operation and API operation. You can follow these instructions to get started with Teensy and then follow this instruction to setup Teensyduino, which let you easily program Teensy using the Arduino platform and Arduino libraries. Another good thing about Teensy is that you can use a simple hardware modification to make it run with 3.3V, which is the supply voltage for the XBee module. This way you can easily connect Teensy to the XBee module using serial connection and still be able to debug and communicate with Teensy using the USB serial port. Two good things about Teensy are that it has an USB serial port and an additional serial port that supports UART. Teensy is a fairly well documented and easy to use development board.

In this article I am going to describe how to set up an RF wireless network with XBee modules and the Teensy USB development board.
