  Bump. Does anyone have any ideas or couple point me to an example where XBee is used with C and SimpleIDE for the Propeller chip on the Propeller Activity Board.
  
  Thanks,

  J,
  
  Look in this thread for some ideas... http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/145335-Issue-with-XBee-AT-command-mode-with-PropGCC-FDS
  
  Not sure if you intend to use AT commands, but this should provide an example of how to communicate to the XBee in C.

  Here is some simple working code. I am using the simpleIDE Terminal to display the remote XBee sent text.
  

  #include "simpletools.h" // Include simpletools
  
  int main() // main function
  {
    int rx_pin = 0;   // XBee DO
    int tx_pin = 1;   // XBee DI
    int mode = 0;     // Unused
    int baud = 9600;  // Default Xbee baud rate
    serial *xb;       // Pointer to text_t structure
  
    xb = serial_open(rx_pin, tx_pin, mode, baud);   // Open up a serial driver
  
    pause(1000);    
    writeLine(xb, "Is this thing on?");   // Look at simpletext.h for all the functions supported.
    serial_close(xb);   // Close the serial driver
  }

  Thank you both. I'll be able to test it out this weekend and i'll post back with my results.
