xbee working

Thanks to this tutorial:

Using the Arduino XBee Shields were easier than I thought. I set up wireless dual channel communication through a wall - approx. 90 feet apart.

It looks like the XBee are programmed out of box to receive all communications, and that one must program them to receive on a particular channel. Since the communication structures for this will not be very difficult, and I'll be writing my own protocol - that should suffice.

Now to buy that third Xbee and see if I can get all 3 chatting together!
