Introduction to your XBee Wi-Fi Cloud Kit

The XBee Wi-Fi Cloud Kit shows you how to set up your XBee Wi-Fi hardware and configure its sample

web application. You can see sensor data from your development board on the web, as well as send

data and commands from the web to your device. The components in this kit allow you to create

customized solutions for connected devices.

The XBee Wi-Fi sample web application integrates with Remote Manager to enable two-way

communication over the Internet, giving you remote control of your device wherever you are. This

application also allows you to customize your dashboard widgets so that you can create your own

connected device systems.

The following sections guide you through your kit setup for cloud-based access:

XBee Wi-Fi development board components and

descriptions

The following table provides descriptions of the XBee Wi-Fi development board components.

Development

board

components Description

1 Associate LED Indicates wireless connection status to local access point.

nSolid green: The XBee module is not connected to a local access

point.

nFlashing green: The XBee is connected to a local access point and

Remote Manager.

nTwo short double blinks: The XBee is connected to a local access

point, but not Remote Manager.

TCP/IP LED An output light connected to one of the GPIO pins that allows you to turn it on

or off using commands sent from Remote Manager.

User LED An output light that acts as a second User LED that allows you to turn it on or

off using commands sent from Remote Manager.

2 LED gauge The LED gauge indicates analog value ranging from 0-10 LEDs and is

controlled through the XBee Wi-Fi dashboard.

3 Vibration

motor

The vibration motor indicates change in status.

4 Buzzer The buzzer acts as an alarm to indicate trouble. It is loudest at 2 kHz, but

works at a range of frequencies. You can also control the frequency of the

buzzer through the dashboard using the buzzer frequency slider. Use the

buzzer toggle widget to turn the buzzer on or off.

5 Slide switch The XBee Wi-Fi dashboard indicates the state of the slide switch. The switch

stays either on or off.

6 Breadboard The rectangular plastic board that lets you easily insert electronic

components for testing purposes. This is useful for prototyping electronic

circuits.

7 Push button The state of the push button is displayed on the XBee Wi-Fi dashboard. The

button appears ON only when actively being pushed.

8 Potentiometer The potentiometer displays on the XBee Wi-Fi dashboard as a speedometer

gauge, progress bar, or graph. You can control the potentiometer by turning

the adjustable knob left or right.

9 Barrel jack Accepts 4.5V to 24V through the development board. You can also use the

barrel jack with the battery pack provided with the kit.

10 USB jack The USB jack has two purposes:

1. To power the development board up to 5V.

2. To provide serial port access to the XBee Wi-Fi for configuration or

sending and receiving data to and from Remote Manager.

board

components Description

11 XBee reset The XBee reset is connected to the XBee Wi-Fi reset pin. You can reconfigure

it via the USB port.

12 DIP switches These switches allow components on the XBee Wi-Fi development board to

disconnect from the XBee. If the switch is away from the XBee, the XBee pin

is connected to that built-in widget on the XBee Wi-Fi dashboard. If the switch

is towards the XBee, the XBee pin disconnects from that component.

Note When you are using loose components or doing advanced prototyping,

you may need to disconnect the built-in component from the XBee pin.

13 Prototyping

headers

The prototyping headers allow connection to all pins of the XBee Wi-Fi. Use

the prototyping headers to connect to your own circuits including those using

the loose components that came with your kit.

14 Commissioning

button

Press the commissioning button four times to reset the network parameters

and reactivate Soft AP mode.

Set up your XBee Wi-Fi Cloud Kit

The XBee Wi-Fi Cloud Kit includes access to a sample web application that makes it quick and easy to

work with your XBee device. The XBee Wi-Fi sample web application integrates with Remote Manager

to enable two-way communication over the Internet, giving you remote control of your device

wherever you are. This application also allows you to customize your dashboard widgets so that you

can create your own connected device systems.

Configure your XBee Wi-Fi module using the Wi-Fi interface

By now you should have already verified the contents of your XBee Wi-Fi Cloud Kit, connected the

hardware, and configured your XBee to connect to a local Wi-Fi access point.

1. If you have not yet configured your XBee to connect to a local Wi-Fi access point, follow the

instructions in the Quick Start Guide that came in your kit, or find the XBee Wi-Fi Cloud Kit

Quick Start Guide online at Digi.com.

2. If your module is not able to connect to your Wi-Fi access point, it returns to Soft AP

configuration mode, and you are required to repeat the configuration steps. Keep in mind that

your SSIDand password are case sensitive.

3. If you are still having trouble connecting your XBee Wi-Fi to a local access point, see

Troubleshooting.

Add your XBee Wi-Fi module to your Remote Manager account

The XBee Wi-Fi Cloud Kit includes access to a sample web application that makes it quick and easy to

work with your XBee device. The XBee Wi-Fi sample web application integrates with Remote Manager

to enable two-way communication over the Internet, giving you remote control of your device

wherever you are. This application also allows you to customize your dashboard widgets so that you

can create your own connected device systems.

You must have a Remote Manager account to use the features of the XBee Wi-Fi sample web

application.

nIf you do not yet have a Remote Manager account, go to Create a Remote Manager account.

nIf you already have an account, go to Add your XBee Wi-Fi module to Remote Manager.

Create a Remote Manager account

Remote Manager enables you to set up and manage dynamic device networks. Your free developer

account lets you explore Remote Manager's application development and device management tools,

with a limited number of devices and transactions. With this developer account you discover how

Remote Manager's suite of device management and application development tools can help you

realize your machine-to-machine (M2M) solution. When you are ready to expand your Remote Manager

access, complete the following steps.
