Wirelessly Control Lights and Motors Using XBee Communication! - Maker Challenge

Materials List: Wirelessly Control Lights and Motors Using XBee Communication!

computer, Windows or Mac
Arduino software; download from https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
2 Arduino microcontrollers and programming cables; recommended: 2 Arduino Inventor’s Kits (which include buttons and LEDs) at SparkFun
2 XBee Series 1 trace antennas, each at CanaKit; many different types of XBees are available and several different antenna options are available with the more expensive ones extending the range from feet to miles; the Series 1 XBee is highly recommended for this activity due to its ease of configuration and classroom range
2 XBee shields, each at SparkFun
1 header pin kit, such as the Arduino Stackable Header Kit - R3 at SparkFun
XCTU software, for configuring the XBees; free download at Digi
1 XBee Explorer USB for each XBee shield, from SparkFun, to make XBee configuration much easier; 1 Explorer can configure all the XBes used in the activity
breadboards
jumper wires
9V battery
9V connector wire
additional components for challenge exercises: potentiometer, touch sensor, flex sensor, motor, servo
