Why is this man smiling? It’s because our XBee API Library for Processing now can handle multiple I/O samples in each data frame. This is a big help for projects getting high frequency data, like accelerometer information, where the sample rate needs to be very frequent. For example, if you want to take samples every 10 ms, but only need to deliver them every 500 ms, this is the code you’ve been awaiting. And that is precisely why Dan Shiffman is smiling.
Next up is receiving regular data, and then probably AT commands.
Dan Shiffman and I are continuing development on our Processing library for Digi’s XBee radios. The 1.1 library now facilitates receiving single sample I/O packets in API mode from both the Series 1 and ZNet radios (formerly known as Series 2), and returns an object that contains the analog values, digital values, sender’s address. Please let me know if you are using this library. Your feedback will helps us make it better.
You can download version 1.1 from the main XBee API Library for Processing page.
Dan Shiffman and I are working on a Processing library for Digi’s XBee Series 1 radios. The library currently facilitates receiving single sample I/O packets in API mode, and returns an object that contains the analog values, digital values, sender’s 16-bit address and RSSI value. The next tasks will be to receive regular RX frames, issue AT commands and receive responses, issue TX frames and receive responses to those. We’d also like to support the XBee Series 2 radios, which have a similar API structure.Here’s a page where you can download and learn about the XBee API Library for Processing v1.00.
