HOW TO - Wireless MIDI using 2 Xbees


"Overview video on using 2 Xbee modules, Adafruit adapter kits and FTDI cable to transmit MIDI wirelessly." x0xb0x
You can find more info on ladyada's Adafruit Industries Xbee here.

"Adafruit Industries looked at all the XBee adapter boards available and decided to design something better...

* Onboard 3.3V regulator to cleanly power your XBee, up to 250mA
* Level shifting circuitry means that its trivial to connect it to 5V circuitry such as an Arduino without risk of damage
* Two LEDs, one for activity (RSSI), the other for power (Associate)
* 10-pin 2mm sockets included to protect the modem and allow easy swapping, upgrading or recycling
* All the commonly used pins are brought out along the edge, making it easy to breadboard or wire up
* Specifically created for use with an FTDI cable to connect to a computer via USB. This means that you can use or upgrade the adapter with a computer simply by plugging in a cable
* For use with any XBee/Pro pin-compatible module

The kit includes a PCB and all components necessary to build the adapter, unassembled."
