Well, its not exactly a baby, but it does use the small round hex body Lynxmotion sells. And I would like to start this off by saying:
THANK YOU!
This would have taken so much longer if I didn’t have access to all the information on this forum: youtu.be/5Rtta4RjMl8
Next stop is coding. Shouldn’t be too bad, especially with Xan’s phoenix code available.
By the way, extra special thanks for that
I guess I’ve only got one question really.
I’ve got three options to control the hex.
xbee pro rpsma’s with a 6 mile range.
xbee pro’s with a 1 mile range and chip antennas.
or bluetooth (in the form of a bluetoothbee).
I guess what I’m asking is… DIY xbee people… what all have you used?
OH, and just for kicks… I’ve decided it will have shock mandibles, to defend itself
So far I have only used XBee version 1s and not the pros… Should not be that hard to convert to some of the others… The main differences would be how the two (or more) xbees connect up to each other ( Point to point, mesh, …)
The pro rpsma’s are a bit different, and draw more current. However, the 60mW Xbee pros with the chip antenna are the same configuration as the normal series 1 (actually, they say S1 on them, so I guess…). I was able to just drop them into an existing project, and presto- they worked. After I updated them using x-ctu. Has anyone worked with Zigbee, series 2?
Haha, yeah I do most of my work on my mac though, unix based systems are awesome. The Alienware broke, but I got it up and running again, now its for programming the arc-32 and playing video games o.O Oh, and in the background there… that was Ubuntu Server. So… Mountain Lion/Windows 7/Linux
