Aidan just shared a new tutorial: [**"How to network XBee and the Arduino"**](http://core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/how-to-network-xbee-and-arduino.html)
Want to setup a wireless XBee network between some Arduinos and your PC? We’re going to show you how. We will be using Series 1 XBee modules alongside some XBee Explorer USB modules from Sparkfun to set up our own Personal Area Network (PAN). All the…
