I could share my Delphi code, but it's mixed with code from the rest of my Domotica system. So i don't think it will be of much help to you. The best i can do is give you a link to the <a href="http://mftoolkit.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">.NET Micro Framework Toolkit</a> i used as a starting point. It's written in C#, but it should be relatively easy to translate to Delphi. That's what i did and it took me about 2-3 evenings, so it's not that hard to do :-) Good luck! Hi Jacob,

Maybe the first evening, getting familiar with some of the basic AT commands to set baud rate and such. But after that i switched to API mode rather quickly cause that looked like the most suitable command mode in my case. Hi Dan,

Obviously it needs to send more data, I am thinking of setting up a wireless sensor that would need to be very fast and wondering if it would be faster to pack my own frames or use the API mode.

Some of those were ordered by a friend of mine and i don't even know where he got them from, and some i bought myself at www.antratek.nl. No secret source :-) Hi Yogi,

As it seems you bought a lot of Xbee modules and the cheapest Pro's I could find were like $40 ? Or do you have a secret source ? Thanks, Yogi. Hi there,

That's it, basically.. I wrote my own software to be able to create, send, receive and process API packets. So what you're seeing is output from my own software which is part of my Domotica (Home Automation) system. The XStick is a USB peripheral module adapter that provides short-range wireless connectivity to an XBee network. I use it as an API mode Coordinator. Hi Saad,

What did you use to view the above output?? What is XStick? I put the XBEE modules (2) on two arduino boards. Please Help. Email me at lpsaad@gmail.com. Thanks! Hi there,
