Program KickStarts
The example programs send data that you type on your PC keyboard from a local XBee
transceiver to a remote transceiver. Keys you press are then echoed back, and displayed in a
serial monitor window – press the A key and you see the letter A in the serial monitor.
For the purposes of demonstration, the remote transceiver is wired in loopback mode — its Data
Out (DOUT) and Data In (DIN) pins are connected together. Whatever data the remote XBee
receives is simply sent back ("echoed") to you. This way you don't need a microcontroller on the
remote module just to demonstrate communicating between two XBee transceivers.
