In my previous post, I described how I was able to program an iCop eBox to transmit date using an XBee wireless link. The program was written in Visual C++ and executed serial port commands to send data to a host computer. I had previously set up the XBees to communicate at 115,200 baud, but the Visual C++ serial port configuration defaults to 9600 for the baud rate. I was able to find sample code for IThu, 26 Nov 2009 10:04:32 GMTKipp Bradford: SPARK Project #3, Post#2http://www.embeddedspark.com/projects/posts/default.aspx?id=35<img alt="" src="/public/uploads/SherlineCNCMill.jpg" height="450" width="600" /><br />

Blinking an LED and transmitting text to a serial terminal is not the most exciting thing in the world, but it’s very cool to breathe life into a balky computer even at the most basic level. Also, I have worked with enough development tools know that it can be a lot of work going from first build to basic function. Many vendors like National Instruments, Texas Instruments, and others have recogMon, 23 Nov 2009 01:37:57 GMTKipp Bradford: SPARK Project #3, Post#1http://www.embeddedspark.com/projects/posts/default.aspx?id=34<img alt="" src="/public/uploads/XBee Master.jpg" height="450" width="600" />

For my third and final SPARK project, I'm going to continue building on lessons learned from <a href="http://www.embeddedspark.com/projects/detail.aspx?id=1">Project 1</a> and <a href="http://www.embeddedspark.com/projects/detail.aspx?id=8">Project 2</a>. I've found Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 to be a powerful tool, but getting started is not a trivial process. Despite a sophisticated IDE, configuring aTue, 10 Nov 2009 17:40:43 GMT
