using API communications in C#

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know how to program XBee in API communications?

Answer 1

I'm not sure that this is a Robotics question. XBee can be used for Robotics, but there RDS does not include a service for it so you would have to write your own. I think that the XBee controller on the PC end looks like a virtual serial port, so the Serial Port service might work.

Answer 2

Hi, This is what i receive from serial port (7E 00 12 92 0013 A2 00 40 6B 68 BB 4F 01 01 00 02 00 00 00 4F). How do I program it whenever it receive "7E" so that it will trigger the stopwatch?

Thank you.

Answer 3

I'm confused. This is still not a question about RDS. If you are already receiving the data, what is the difficulty in executing some code whenever you see a 7E in the data stream?

I need some starting guide codes to program whenever it receive "7E" to trigger the stopwatch.

List<byte> streamBuffer = new List<byte>()
{
    0x7E, 0x00, 0x12, 0x92, 0x00, 
    0x13, 0xA2, 0x00, 0x40, 0x6B, 
    0x68, 0xBB, 0x4F, 0x01, 0x01,
    0x00, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 
    0x4F 
};
 
foreach (byte value in streamBuffer)
{ 
    if(value == 0x7E)
    {
        // Start StopWatch
 
 
        // If done with processing current streamBuffer break out of the foreach loop
        break;
    }
    else
    {
        continue;
    }
}
