[Akiba] This is an interesting blog post, mostly because the XBee
Pro is rated at about 1.6 km line of sight. However this guy is
claiming to get about 150m (~150 yards) before data gets
corrupted....[/Akiba]
So i have a side project that i’m working on, a wireless OBD-II scanner. It’s pretty interesting and I have some guidence from a professor at WPI. The wireless unit I chose to work with is the XBee PRO. This thing is solid. The development kit ($179) came with everything I needed to get started and get proof of concept. I was transmitting wireless data within minutes of setting up the system. The chip is extremely small, too, so it has a variety of applications. Link
