Comunicaciones-Telecomunicaciones

We developed a propietary communication software between commercial XBee modules. They com-municate via the Data Transfer Packet mode which involves transmission and reception of the completemessage without intervention of the MCU and the use of the transceiver´s internal memory for storage.This mode has the advantage of using MCU´s fewer resources and as main disadvantage there is higherlatency between messages. In this rst instance data will be transmitted in an arbitrary and not conformto any specic protocol. This development will serve for triggering communication system used in three small Cherenkov telescopes located in Argentina.
