Example Send and Receive

Testing

When testing or seeing how these scripts work, have both XBee radios plugged into two separate machines. Then, on one of the machines, run the receive script. Then on the other machine, run the send script. The message from the send script should appear on the other machine's terminal.

send.py

This script sends a set message to a given MAC address. These are both hard coded so when testing on different radios, change the MAC address to MAC address of the radio that you are sending the message to. If you are running on a Mac, the serial port is hard coded at the moment. Change the serial port to that of the XBee radio connected to the Mac.

receive.py

This script, when run, waits for a message to be sent to it by polling. When received, the message and the MAC address of the radio that sent the message will be displayed. If you are running on a Mac, the serial port is hard coded at the moment. Change the serial port to that of the XBee radio connected to the Mac.
