Tweet a watt using series 2 xbee

[AndrewSoh]

I'm interested in making my own tweet a watt, but the zigbee module i'm having is xbee series 2, what are the differences i need to take into account when building the transmission circuit? And also for the data being output to the computer?

it wont work, you must use series 1

So you mean that there is absolutely no way to work around the fact that I have a series 2? Damn. And another thing, is it possible to build the transmission module on a breadboard first before implementing it on a PCB?

You could always make your own boards and write your own code. As to building the transmission module on a breadboard I don't see anything that would not allow that. Good Luck.

nobody who has tried to do it has succeeded. we do not like the series 2 which is why we do not sell or suggest it.

Hey. Thanks for all your help guys. Now I guess it's time to tell my prof the bad news.

How do you know the difference between series 1 and series 2 ? Is it the Rev number on the back ?

[adafruit]

yes and also where you bought it should tell you what it is that you purchased
