Years later, so funny to stumble as a real hard core Darknet Diaries fanboy over this great XBee S2 tutorial. I really appreciate your great work.

I love how easy you are to follow on your videos. You talk with such ease. Other people force it out and their presentation sucks. Great videos man. I love your style, keep up the great work.

About a year ago I spent several days getting my XBees to work, and I still didn't understand it. This tutorial is great! I thought you had to hook up an Arduino to it. I had never thought about using it as a stand-alone device. Wow... so many new ideas to ponder. Thanks! PS. I liked the "punk to geek" transition theme. I didn't get it at first (guess I'm a bit slow) but it was a nice theatrical touch.

Hey man, very cool videos. Love your teaching style and the clarity. I found myself watching the entire series in one night. I'm definitely going to follow you on your blog :)

I really like the way you describe each and everything about Xbee. The information you provided was to the point and precise Thank you !

Hey Jack! Great video. I've only finished the first one of the series but you earned a sub with your clear explanations and organization. I have some cool ideas for XBee including wireless MIDI control for my guitar FX and of course some home automation. Keep rockin'! 🙂

Honestly, I didn't know how to go about learning the basics of Xbee. These videos, were a great help!! Thanks alot

Excellent series of videos... The pace and content was just right. Well done. Chris

Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me a lot on my little wireless project.

Excellent tutorial. I'm looking forward to reviewing the rest of the lessons.

Thank You Thank You Thank You....... You really made my day with this complete tutorials.... YOU are the true lifesaver......

Thank you Jack, Its 2021 and this videos help a lot with my graduation project.

"Thank You", thank you very much...

Thank God someone is not bullshitting in his videos and actually come to the solution. Thank you.

you are a good teacher! Upload more tutorials man.

All I can say is that you are a star...

Fantastic video series. Helped me get started in a big way!!

The best Vid on Xbee!

Very well structured tutorial. Thank you.

Great intro video man!!! This was very helpful.

I changed to series 2 Xbees. will follow your lessons. thanks!

Congrats on the 100th Ep!

wow dude you just blew my mind. the glasses threw me off but you are a very good teacher/blogger/video creator. great work man keep it up

Hi there! Excellent video series! Very VERY helpful. Quick question: For your xbee tutorials, does it matter if we use xbee series 1, or only xbee series 2 can be used within your tutorial? Thanks in advance

you are really awesome Mann loved the tutorials

Great tutorial ! It would be really helpful if you release one more.. explaining the formation of network using three or more zigbees.

Dude, you are the man, thanks a ton!

Such clarity in this lecture

Thanx a ton man for these videos ... Highly grateful to you !!!

I like this small practical cources on Xbee and it is very usefull for me.Thanks for sharing Knowledge

thank you very much, your quick Reference Guide safe my life, now my arduino is Working with wireless, Thanks again.

This is a really good tutorial, i was just wondering if you had a similar tutorial for the mac version?

This is so cool! I’m just discovering this tech 😂😂 I’m so behind the curve that I see Spark fun no longer makes these cool parts! I Dang. Hoping I can find alternatives. Thanks for making this video. It’s really well done. 👍

Extremely useful. Thanks!

hello there! Thank you for your tutorial, it helped me to do some stuff with my xbee controllers like in 2014, lol. And now I am returning to say thank you. Seems like all this xbee fuss lead to nowhere anyways

Thank you for the tutorial sir. But, I have a concern, can we use our own antenna in replace for the built-in antenna? We are planning to make a Radar using this device and we needed to use our own designed antenna.

that XP Royale Noir theme man. Best XP theme ever

Awesome man thanks for the info! 🤙

This is an excellent tutorial

thank you so much! very awesome tutorial video series )))))))

Thank you very much for taking the time to make the 5 videos. I am sick and tired of working with the "Cheap and Easy Wireless under $10". After watching your video's I am going to order some XBee equipment. Anything I need to know before I buy the stuff ?? Thanks Again

THANKS MAN!!! great video! Configuration in Mac have given me huge headaches. I guess i'll have to change to PC now. Cheers!

@tunnelsup Amazing tutorials dude, however i have an urgent question i have multiple xbees and i want to send the rssi of each router to the coordinator (all in api mode) . so could you please tell me how to do this?

Excellent tutorials. Like others below, I would appreciate an updated version with the new X-CTU software ( which thankfully is now available for the Mac OS).

So what would I do if I had an xbee s1 model? Would I have to pick something different besides the zigbee stuff (xb24 zb)?

It was an awesome video.

this oddly came up on my feed . im a retired carpenter with next to no technical skills . i have not the slightest idea what on gods earth anything you said meant nor why this was suggested . you must be doing well?

Hello , Thanks a million for creating such an outstanding clip and also your invaluable efforts toward illustrating the subject. I have a question which has been tickling my mind for so long, but before I ask it I have to confess that it doesn't specifically relate to this product. It's about a pair of ProBee ZE10C modules. These are a wee bit older than XBee modules. To cut a long story short, I could run them perfectly but my problem is that when I config them after a while their settings turn back to the factory mode and I have to set them again! This has been driving me crazy! I've gone through its datasheet for like 100 times! But don't know what I've done wrong! You know I save the commands by putting ATZ command, and at the end I reboot them, then for a short while they work well. I'll be so thrilled to see your recommend. I also do apologize for taking your time man.

Hello, I downed XCTU ,but it is nothing like the one in your tutorial and I am completely lost. If you could help me out I would be glad to compensate you. Regards, Ken

Hi! Thanks for all yout info, I'm currently working on a remotely operated terrestrial rover(With GPS, temperature sensors, etc.) with Arduinos Xbee shields as coordinator and end points. I have no problem in sending and receiving data from the rover however I want to display the information received in the computer and I can't seem to find a way of doing it without crashing the serial communication between the XBees. Is it possible with two arduinos or do I need another device? Thanks!

Hi, great videos! However, is it possible if you could remake another series of XBee Basics using the new XCTU or perhaps make a video tutorial on XCTU? Thanks and have a nice day!

awesome video sir

very good material in these 5 presentations. In my project, i should establish a wireless communication btw 2 xbee. each one will be connected with a pic microcontroller. My goal is to connect the one module to one pc and the other module to another pc and send and receive data. Do you have any advise how to start with this?

thank u dude... it is vary halp full for me....!

Hi, if we don't have an adaptor like the one you showed, can we connect the xbee directly to the arduino with just male to female cables? Thanks in advance

Very nice presentation, my biggest problem is getting the drivers loaded could you do a video on getting the drivers to work correctly. I have been successful at loading the drivers before but it seems the drivers won't stay working. I think other software drivers conflict with them.

Question: if I want the XBee to connect to the internet, what configurations should I set? It needs to know the SSID, authentication method credentials, and how to make http requests to a server. I think it needs to be set as Endpoint, right? @Jack Rhysider

Hi, Great videos. I was wondering where to start with Xbee if I use Pic? It seems everything is Arduino. The main thing I will use it for is home automation as I am leaving x10 behind. Any help as to what I need to get started would be so appreciated. : )

Hey guys,first of all you have an amazing videos!! I was wondering whether you can upload a video on synapse parts(RF266) If you are familiar with them. I think many members will find those video useful. Thanks.

I must say.. Ur goggles rockk.! xD awesome vid.!

nice tutorial, is this also applicable to xbee s1?

Man that is a nice course !

You are just amazing

Great reference guide. I want to donate but can't find the link?

Hi ... its very useful lesson ,, are the xbee compatible with microelectronica V7 board and microC launguge

Thanks for your video. Is it possible to get RSSI from Xbee module with arduino?

tnx a lot sir.i have learnt so many things from ur videos nd during these days I m doning work on a robot which will play soccer. tnq....

Hello, For my final study I love my card arduino connected to my pc and send the information to be recorded on an SD card. I want the card to be connected wirelessly. I saw that there was the xbee solution. I want to know if it is possible to have a transmitter / receiver for the pc and the same for the map? In this case is that the pc would always connect to the pc with a "serial port"?

So you've been running your xbees at 5 volts in the video, while the spec sheet says to not exceed 3.6 volts. Following your tutorial, I also ran them at 5 volts with no problems. I only recently found the voltage requirements. Do you know why they seem to work okay at 5 volts?

Hi, could you say the exact model of the board with red and green leds? and the board that is on the protoboard(FTD1). If you give the web-page when you purchased them, I would thank! Thanks!

You are my own personal Jesus with sunglasses!

thank you very much...really quick and helpful.... (y)

Hi What is the correct configuration of Xbee(S2) to make the coordinator and router sending data to each other?

are you using the Xbee ZB Series 2 XBP24-BZ7WIT-004J???

dude, which one is better xbee, the one with wire antenna or patch antenna?

A little late, but is there a way to reset a bricked xbee, none of the methodes that I tried worked so far

Which Xbee's do you recommend at 300 m height for sending datas to computer? Please do help me!

hey nice video... But i have a question... would be possible 3 arduino slaves Xbee transmiter to attach to a single on master arduino Xbee receiver? and if that would be possible , what kind of efficiency could be scored.....?

Say I need the Xbee S2 modules to communicate when they are about 20 feet apart with 3 concrete walls obstructing their path. Can I do this with normal ones or do I need the PROs ?

if you need to send data over 10 km, Do you need 2x the 10 km version. Or only 1 and the 100 m version? Pleas tell me!

I’m really struggling to get an CBeebies adapter, Ada fruit is has not been selling them anymore, do you have any suggestions?

I want to buy or build some cheap 900Mhz range devices (relays) to work with my Smartthings hub. Zwave switches are $40. Is there anyway to do this? The device you are using is 2.4Ghz but I see there are Xbee models that work in the 900Mhz range.

great job!

Really nice video...Thanks

It seems like the newest version of x-ctu changed the ID from a PAN ID to what says ssid ID, I am confused by that. Also to change the MY I had to change the IP to "static" it is very confusing now that digi released this new version of x-ctu, none of these older tutorials seem to make sense anymore.

which version of XCTU software are you using

brilliant .... thanks

how much has changed since 2013 regarding your information? is the 3 much different? thanks

this shit is hella dope my dude

Can I use a shield ? Would it change the way how to program or etc. ?

can we use two wireless cameras in a single atmega32 microcontroller. Is there sny difficulty due to frequency. please reply. if any video tutorial send me link

Can you avoid the adapter kit by connecting the 3.3V pin on the Arduino directly to the Xbee?

What model/ brand are those glasses?!?

Can this be applied to Xbee series 1?

hi i want to know wich kit i use to do a great comunication inside the greenhouse...

Does tx-tx rx-rx work for bluetooth modules as well for using AT codes?

I am getting error message “Invalid class string” when installing into a Win7 64bits. Any clue how to finish the installation? thanks

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu ^_^

Nice tutorial.....👍can you just suggest me about how to send float data of longitude to latitude from GPS module to other remote xbee....able to sent single character only....plz help me

where can I get your quick reference guide??
