MSP TryFi Prep

Today, I'm going to begin merging 2 disparate devices. We're going to start "pre-marriage counseling" for a union between 2 devices which can talk to each other, but aren't really intended to.

Bride and Groom



Our goal is to get the MSP-430 and the Xbee Wi-Fi radio to communicate. If we can have it report available networks over a serial connection, then it can host a webpage over wifi. To make this happen, we'll need to do several things:



1. Install CJBearman's XbeeWifi library into Energia
2. Make an SPI connection from the MSP to the Xbee -- 4 pins plus VCC (power) and ground
3. Make another connection for XbeeWifi library's 4 required pins
4. Transfer and run code
