Conclusion
Unit works. Circuits need to be made. Boxes designed to house units. Issues: About a 30 second wait for the LED’s to
turn on or off. Xbee configuration needs to be
researched.

Program for send unit
/* Physical Pixel An example of using the Arduino board to receive data from the computer. In this case, the Arduino boards turns on an LED when it receives the character 'H', and turns off the LED when it receives the character 'L'. The circuit: * LED connected from digital pin 13 to ground
const int ledPin = 13; // the pin that the LED is attached toint incomingByte; // a variable to read incoming serial data into
void setup() { // initialize serial communication: Serial.begin(9600); // initialize the LED pin as an output: pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);}
void loop() { // see if there's incoming serial data: if (Serial.available() > 0) { // read the oldest byte in the serial buffer: incomingByte = Serial.read(); // if it's a capital H (ASCII 72), turn on the LED: if (incomingByte == 'H') { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); } // if it's an L (ASCII 76) turn off the LED: if (incomingByte == 'L') { digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); } }}
