XBee: Communicate between computer and robot

Help & Support Robots & Kits

Hi,

I would like to communicate between my robot and my computer.
If possible in both ways, but essentialy from the robot to the computer.

I think XBee modules might be a good way, I have selected the following products, could someone confirm that I have everything I need ?

1 x RB-Ard-30
1 x RB-Spa-145
2 x RB-Spa-737

Concerning the Arduino shield (RB-Ard-30), will it fit the BotBoarduino ? Will I still have access to all the servos pins ?

Thanks,

Ben

Your choice of parts is good - and that will allow for two-way communication. The shield should be fine with the BotBoarduino.The pins used for the servos start at pin 2, so pins 0 and 1 (which are used for serial communication) are not used by the servos.
