Text Messenger Kit

With two of these Text Messenger Kits, two XBoards can be programmed to send digital text messages to another, using serial infrared communication. In this project, a keypad, an infrared transmitter, and an infrared receiver are connected to the XBoard. Then, the microcontroller is programmed to decipher input from the keypad, display the input on the LCD, send this data via the infrared transmitter, and receive text messages from other XBoards. NOTE: A Machine Science Starter Kit is also required to build the GPS Receiver.
