Example: send digital actuations

In this example, you will create a Java application that blink the LED of a remote XBee module.
Configure one of the modules as a coordinator and the other as router. The coordinator is the sender
and transmits the digital actuation to the router, which is connected to the LED.
If you get stuck, see Troubleshooting.

Step 2: Connect the components
To get started, connect the components and start XCTU.
1. Plug the XBee modules into the XBee Grove Development Boards and connect them to your
computer using the micro USB cables provided. You can find more specific steps in
XBee module.
2. After connecting the modules to your computer, open XCTU.
3. Make sure you are in Configuration working mode.
Step 3: Configure the XBee modules
Follow these steps to configure XBee A, the coordinator, to send digital actuations to XBee B, the
router, every second. The LED of the receiver dims with each signal received.
1. Restore the default settings of all XBee modules with the Load default firmware settings
button at the top of the Radio Configuration section.
