Mark Crosbie has done a fantastic job of putting together a communications library that handles many of these functions. He does not handle all of them, but the library is pretty advanced. It is, however, for RobotC. You can see more on it here: http://dexterindustries.com/blog/2012/04/02/new-nxtbee...

Hello, I'll try to answer these questions, but it has been some time since I've played around with the NXC code. I believe John Hansen originally wrote these, but I can't remember. - at the start the variable byte mlen is declared but never used: what was it intended for? Your guess is as good as mi...

Something else to think about is weight. Have you thought about how you would power this? I'm not sure if you can get enough power out of the NXT; with the NXT, and necessary batteries, you might reach a weight limit that requires a pretty heft UAV. Just a thought, if you haven't started calculating...

Matt Allen (http://mattallen37.wordpress.com/) and John Hansen have done some really great work this the past few weeks. We've posted a preliminary set of drivers and examples in our downloads section for the Wifi that seem to work really well (thanks Matt and John!). You can see it on our website h...

:) Hello Folks, I really appreciate everyone pitching in on their opinions here. I think I have the start of a solution. I just ran the below code and get a consistent "OK" response from the Wifi sesor. I am using a DI Wifi sensor, that has been factory-reset and should resemble what comes...

If you're having trouble with batteries and the wifi sensor, we've posted a quick hack on how to power the sensor while programming it. Indeed, wifi can require some power. If you're running out of batteries or experiencing the problems Mark has mentioned, you can try this: http://dexterindustries.c...

Thanks Matt and John for hopping in here. John did a fantastic job with the NXTBee a few months ago and we really hope the Wifi code can be brought up to speed!

Hey Folks, That's right, the sensor is for sale. We haven't made an announcement about it yet because we're still trying to polish the example programs we want to release with it. However, if you're feeling adventurous, you can purchase it! Xander has published a great example of how to make it a we...

Hey Folks, Yes, the last output on the block, the "1010101" is raw, A/D output. The sensor is an analog sensor that's read by the NXT's A/D converter. C- Celsius F - Faren. K - Kelvin R - Rankine (kind of a joke, no one really uses it but we were feeling pretty thorough when we wrote the b...

Just wanted to let everyone know that we've posted some new example code for the NXTBee using NXC. There are two new posts: an initialization utility and example programs for a simple send/receive. :geek: The utility can be used to initialize XBee radios using the NXTBee adapter. It should initializ...
