How to specify remote address of Xbee and easier initial config

[Stavros Tsardounis]

Hello! I am trying to figure out a way to get the MAC address of the remote Xbee. Right now you have to manually add it in the code like this:

// Specify the address of the remote XBee (this is the SH + SL)
XBeeAddress64 addr64 = XBeeAddress64(0x0013a200, 0x403e0f30);

Is there a way to send an AT command or an API command to get and store the SH SL values rather than adding them manually into the sketch? This will help when you dont know the MAC address and you want to have an easier way of configuring a remote/battery sensor.

Side note question: Is there a commission button I can setup that will enable both endpoint and hub to go into configuration mode and allow easier connection? Think of WPS that Wireless AP's have.

Thanks again!!

Hi, I have been working on similar kind of project could you please tell me if you are successful in doing so??

IF you only have 2 module communicating togheterm there is no need to send to the specific SH/SL, you can just send a broadcast message.

like so:

XBeeAddress64 addr64 = XBeeAddress64(0x0, BROADCAST_ADDRESS);

IF you want to know the SH & SL of a remote node, once again if you only have 2 nodes, you can broadcast a remote at with the command SL and SH, it will respond with it SH and SL
