solution of this problem is Zigbee. There are many wireless
modules available in marker like RF, RC transmitter and
receiver. But there range is low. Zigbee have higher range
than other wireless modules. In this article, you will learn

What is Zigbee ?
Zigbee is a wireless communication module which use
IEEE802.15.4 standard.802.15.4 is a IEEE standard for low
power applications of radio frequency. It used in many
products
now
days
for
wireless
communication
functionality. It can be used as a transmitter and receiver
both. It used serial communication to send and receive
data. It have two series, series1 and series 2. Series 1 is
comparatively easy to use and it is recommended for
beginners. Series 1 zigbee module can not work in mesh
network. Mean it can not talk to more than one zigbees
buddies.
How zigbee technology works ?
As I have already mentioned it use serial port to send and
receive data. So its mean it can be easily interface with
Arduino Uno R3, any type of microcontroller and computer.

Because they all support serial communication and they all
have serial port to send and receive data. It can also
communicate with other Zigbee to form a mesh. Zigbee can
also be used to make a local area network. It have many
applications. But some of the famous applications of

Zigbee alone cant do any thing. You have to interface it with
some intelligent device like microcontrollers, Arduino and
computer. These devices will tell it what to do or what no to

intelligent. But you can make them intelligent by writing few
lines of instructions. Lets move forward and learn how to

Note : Single Zigbee module is useless. We always need a
pair of modules so that they can talk to each other. Oh sorry
they are not human. I mean they can communicate with
each other. I will discuss about it more later.

Zigbee interfacing with Arduino
Figure above shows connection diagram of module with
Arduino. Remember. You module should have regulated 5
volt and 3.3 volt. If you use Adafruit XBee Adapter it have
both voltage level. Otherwise you have to use separate
power supply. In above circuit. TX and RX pin of zigbee and
Arduino are connected to each other. Arduino will send
some instruction to zigbee and according to these
instruction
zigbee
respond.
Similary
zigbee
receive
intructions from other zigbee to which it have address. After
receiving instructions or data from other zigbee. It send data
to arduino through serial pins as shown in connection.
Similarly other module can be connected with one more
Arduino or computer. Same connection diagram is used for
other zigbee and arduino pair.
********* Code*************
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);

After connecting Arduino with it, upload the above code in
Arduino, Arduino start receiving whatever zigbee send to
Arduino through serial communication.
How to congure Zigbees :
Follow the following instructions to congure Zigbee series
1 module :
1. Connect your zigbees module to computer serial port
using serial adapter.
2. Download virtual terminal or PuTTy for windows.
3. set your computer serial port. conrm that it is set to a
baud rate of 9,600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
4. click on local Echo box.
5. click ok.
6. save the time of session.
7. click to the connect button on virtual terminal.
8. After connection with Zigbees give the name of your
session.
9. Now you are connected with Zigbee module.
10. Use AT commands to congure your module.
After that type +++ on virtual terminal and after few seconds
it will respond with these commands :
ATMY1234
ATDL5678
ATDH0
ATID0
ATWR
Your zigbees module is ready to used. Now connect other
zigbees module with other serial port and repeat the above
10 steps. Other zigbee module will also respond with
following instructions:
ATMY5678
ATDL1234
ATDH0

Now both zigbees modules are ready to talk with each other.

What kind of technical information you need ? And
prices of these units vary from country to country. So try
to search electronics stores in your country

thank for giving this information to all , i have one
doubt about zigbee please try to clear it sir , after
conguring the zigbees then can we use that
zigbee transmitter individually that means with out
pc , and where it will show the commands . please
give reply as early as possible

I am doing a project where zigbee is used. I need
to use the zigbee module to broadcast
information. Is it possible to broadcast using
xbee?
If u can share some information regarding zigbee
broadcast.
