  Control the color of an RGB LED wirelessly via XBee.
   
   
  Required (in addition to your Arduino):
  
    (These items are found in the SparkFun XBee Wireless Kit Retail product
     or can be obtained individually.)
  
       * 1 x SparkFun XBee Explorer USB
    
       * 1 x SparkFun XBee Wireless Shield
    
       * 2 x "Series 1" Digi XBee communication modules
   
   
  Instructions:
  
    * Ensure both XBee communication modules are configured to use
      their default configuration and communicate at 9600 baud.
  
    * Put the XBee Wireless Shield onto your Arduino but do not insert
      the XBee communication module.
  
    * Wire an RGB LED to your Arduino as shown in CIRC-12 of the
      SparkFun Inventor's Guide.
      
    * Connect your Arduino to your computer using a USB cable.
    
    * Upload this sketch as normal to your Arduino.
      
    * Test the functionality of the sketch works when connected via
      the USB cable. Open the Serial Monitor window and ensure it is
      set to communicate at 9600 baud. Type a sequence of one or more
      of the characters 'r', 'g' and 'b' and then press the "Send"
      button. The RGB LED should change color in response. A space
      character in the sequence will cause the LED to turn off.
      
    * Disconnect your Arduino from your computer.
    
    * Insert one XBee module into the XBee Explorer board. Ensure the
      orientation of the XBee module is correct with the beveled end
      of the module pointing away from the USB connector so the module
      outline matches the diagonal white lines silkscreened on the
      board.
      
    * Insert the other XBee module into the XBee Wireless Shield.
      Again, ensure the orientation of the XBee module is correct with
      the beveled end pointing over the edge of the shield away from
      the USB connector on the Arduino board. The outline of the
      module should match the the diagonal white lines silkscreened on
      the shield.
    
    * The small switch located near the TX/RX pins on the shield
      should be set to the "UART" position so the XBee module is
      connected to the hardware serial port on the Arduino.

    * Connect the XBee Explorer USB to your computer with a mini-USB
      cable.
  
    * Select the correct serial port for your XBee Explorer USB from
      the Tools > Serial Port menu in the Arduino IDE.
  
    * Connect your Arduino with the XBee Wireless Shield on it to a
      power source--either a battery, a "wall wart" power adapter or
      another USB port.
      
    * Open the Serial Monitor window of the Arduino IDE and make sure
      the correct communication speed of "9600 baud" is selected from
      the pop-up menu in the lower right corner of the Serial Monitor
      window.
      
    * You may need to press the reset button on the shield to
      redisplay the instructions.
      
    * Control your LED as before--except you've now replaced the cable
      with air!
