Step 6Program and Test Wireless
With the Arduino programming environment we can tell the LilyPad to get the analog values from Analog Inputs 0 and 2, store and operate on the values, then send any information we want to the XBee connected to a computer.
Let's test the wireless communication. Plug in the XBee and XBee Breakout Board with 6 pin header into an ftdi-usb chip then into your computer. Load your favorite Serial Terminal Program. I use a flavor of Linux so cutecom is my choice. ( For Windows check out HyperTerminal, I think Zterm works with OSX.)
I have provided the PDE file used by Arduino to demonstrate sending values from the flex and pressure sensors.
