Recommendations on Wireless Communication side: XBee? Other?
Account cancelled 2016-05-06 20:57:18 2072 Views1 Replies Hi, I'm reaching out since my initial things I've bought have been great from DFRobot, including a beginners kit and recently a RaspberryPi and Plant Watering system. I've built several test projects and now I'm ready to buy and build my initial sytem.
I want to build a central unit using raspberry pi to collect and manage multiple arduino devices. The arduino devices will have the following functions: 1. collecting temp/humidity data, 2. managing a simple pet feeder, and 3. managing the watering of a plant system.
So, my question is this: What should I buy for the wireless communication between the different arduinos and the raspberry pi? I see a lot of info on XBee but I'm not sure which ones to get.
Thanks for the help! Really love DFRobot. Enjoying getting my first full project together.

As for the Xbee module, anyone would be fine as long as it supports net mesh. e.g. https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route= ... uct_id=671 Leff
