Hi,
I'm using the series 2 xBee modules, with the ZB AT firmware (one coordinator and two end devices). I just want to do a simple experiment for now: each end device has the coordinator's address as the address they want to talk to, and then each end device sends data to the coordinator.
What does the data look like on the coordinator's end? Are the two data streams from each device "mixed" and then the data coming out the coordinator is just from both of them? Is there any way to differentiate between data coming from each module?
Thanks for your help,
Cesar
edit:
From some reading on this forum, it seems like I want to use API mode, since the "Transparent mode" is really more of just a one-to-one serial line replacement thing. However, do I still have the same problem with API mode? As I understand it, I'm still going to be receiving streams of bytes in API mode. Will the xBee firmware take care of making sure the individual API mode packets don't intersect each other?
Thanks again
