Basic chat

The goal of this first example is to transmit real-time text messages over the air via XBee modules—a wireless chat session.

You will assemble the hardware and connect it to your computer, configure the XBees for wireless communication, and then start chatting. The text you type to one XBee will be wirelessly transmitted to the other XBee, and vice versa.

Follow the steps below to set up the XBees and open a wireless chat session using XCTU.
