Configuring XBees
Note: If you are using the XBees from the glove and RC robot tutorial, they should be the same configuration! You can move on to the next section.
To configure the XBees, we will be using the XBee Series 1 firmware. It is recommended to configure each XBee using the XBee Explorer USB.
If you have not already, check out the Starting with XCTU section under Exploring XBees and XCTU to configure your XBees.

How to set up an XBee using your computer, the X-CTU software, and an XBee Explorer interface board.
Point-to-Point Configuration
For simplicity, we will be sending commands with the XBees in transparent mode set for a point-to-point configuration. Make sure to configure each XBee with a unique MY address if there are more than two XBees in your CH and PAN ID. You will then need to adjust the DL address for each respective XBee.
