XBee kit (V2.0)
The new DFRobotShop Rover V2 Xbee kit no longer includes an Xbee shield since there are two Xbee slots
provided on the board (note that Xbee headers are sold separately).
1. Follow the steps above for getting the basic rover operational via USB cable.
2. Install the Xbee module on the DFRobotShop Rover PCB in position XBEE2 Check the pin numbers
!
Most modules will face the REAR of the board (this is not intuitive).
3. Move the Xbee switch to XBee1 (therefore NOT connected to the Bluetooth module).
4. Connect the USB cable to your computer and upload your sketch (upload the WASD sketch in the code
section of this manual if you are just starting).
5. Once the sketch has finished uploading, disconnect the USB cable and move the Xbee switch to XBee2
(therefore the Tx and Rx pins are connected to the Bluetooth module)
6. Turn the rover ON (after connecting the LiPo battery of course)
7. Connect the other USB to the USB to Xbee breakout board, and connect the USB cable to the breakout
board. The drivers should install automatically.
8. Ensure you know which COM port is associated with the USB to Xbee breakout board on your
computer.
9. For Windows users, open Hyperterminal and follow Hyperterminal Configuration in this guide.
10. In the serial window, you can type W, A, S, D (and any other key to stop) to move the rover.
11. If the rover is turned off or loses power, you may need to upload the code once again.
