OVERVIEW

XBee Communication workshop mainly focuses on the students eager to learn Wireless Communication using Xbee Communication Protocol and AVR Microcontroller. X-Bee Transceiver module is easy to integrate and provides reliable wireless communications up to 100 meters. X-Bee supports Point to Point and Multi Point Networks.

The duration of this workshop will be two consecutive days with eight hours session each day, in a total of sixteen hours properly divided into theory and hand on practical sessions. At the end of this workshop a competition will be organized among the participating students where each participating student will get Certificate of Participation and the Winners will get Certificate of Merit.
