The Series 1 operates a standard point to point network. PLEASE NOTE: Unless you want to set up a Wireless mesh network, you should use the XBee 802.15.4 modules, also known as the Series 1 modules. For this tutorial I'll explain how to read the signal strength with an Arduino, though you can just use a PC. You'll also need an XBee usb connector like this to configure them from your computer. The first thing you're going to need is of course a couple of XBee units. So here's a tutorial and some pointers for getting XBees set up for signal strength reading. Having a look at the analytics, I realised that like I been doing, there are still a lot of people trying to figure out how to read RSSI from an XBee to an Arduino.
However, I had a look at the nascent blog for the first time in a while, and it surprised me that it was getting a respectable number of views, especially for something that wasn't particularly informative and hadn't been updated in so long. I had planned to blog about the process, but never got round to writing any more than two posts. Last year I spent quite a lot of time trying to read the Recieved Signal Strength Indicator from an XBee for a project I was working on.
