robo rad
I was browsing the EZ forum and saw some one mention the incredible distances that you can communicate with robot,RC vehicles,balloons ,drones...using the Xbee systems up to 40 miles range. I have both EZB-4 and EZB-3 and was wondering what could be done with the EZB-3 in a long range out door 4X4 roaming robot,has anyone ever experimented using Xbee communication and would it work with both my EZ3 and 4? Still love the range I get with the Wi-Fi on EZ4 but the range with bluetooth on EZ3 very limited so possibly adding a 1 mile Xbee wireless system would work for a better robot I am working on.Anyone have any experience? Their website at sparkfun looks highly interesting.I am also experimenting using the mobile phone app with EZB4 currently, but I don't have a cell network just use the EZB built in wifi server to communicate with robot. Just trying to find best way for long range robot control.

Some guys advocate you shouldn't have the chip buried inside of your stuff (case, robot enclosure etc)
if that is true, both products without shells and under the same setup will have similar wifi performance.
