| Guys-n-Gals, I just posted a new XBee Connectivity How-To Guide for our products here: http://www.roboticsconnection.com/multimedia/docs/XBeeConnectionHowTo.pdf This should help anyone who wishes to configure and connect XBee radios to our Serializer and RangeWizard product line, as well as Traxsters and Stingers fitted with Serializers.  The XBee-USB daughter cards for your computer will be available on our site over the next week or so. Best Regards,

Hi Jason,
A very clear and concise guide. Much better than all those others floating
on the ether describing using a terminal and "AT" (barf) commands to config
the XBee.
I am pleased with the XBee I am now using. Finally got my Bot to cruise
around the living room this past Saturday with XBee and your Traxster
GUI/Server application. I did, of course, make software sensor and servo
additions for my Bot's particular needs.
Thanks for such great support.
Don Lewis

| Awesome! One thing I'm going to add to the XBee guide is a mention about using the modules withe U.FL connector, and an external antenna for the ones inside of a bot chassis (Faraday cage), and using another w/ a built in antenna on the controlling computer side of things. If someone uses a module w/ a built-in antenna inside of the metal Traxster/Stinger chassis, then signal range will suffer terribly.  Best Regards!
