Data Monitoring, Networking, and Automation (2/5/2015)

Today I continued building my receiver node.
I added a buffer chip, so that 0-5V signal turns into 3.3V.

After that, I connected the Xbee RF module.

Finally, I connected it to my computer through the FTDI cable, and the indicator light I soldered started blinking, so hopefully everything works.

I then installed X-CTU, and ensured that I could read my receiver.
