What You Should See
After you've uploaded the code, follow this series of steps to verify that everything is working:
1. Open the Arduino's Serial Monitor. Make sure the baud rate is set to 9600.
2. Switch to XCTU and click over to console mode.
3. Type something in the console view, it should show up on the Serial Monitor.
4. Type something into the Serial Monitor (and press "Send"), it should show up in the console view.
5. Yay!
You can use this setup to create a chat system. If you have another computer nearby, try to see how far your
XBees can be from each other while still reliably communicating.
If your XBee's aren't communicating with each other, try getting them closer together (if they were far apart to
begin with). Otherwise, check out our troubleshooting section of the Exploring XBee tutorial.
Example: Remote Control Arduino
Setting up a chat system is fun, but where XBees and the XBee Shield really shine is in passing data to and from
an Arduino, so you can remotely control it or receive data from it. In this example, we'll create a simple serial
interface, which can be used to set and read analog and digital pins.
