Hi,
I have a simple application that needs a wireless transmitter to wake up every 5 minutes, read the ADC, transmit the value, then go back to sleep. Battery life will be critical, thus the sleep cycle necessity.
I'd like to purchase the Xbee units from you to do this, but I'd like to know up front if I will need a microprocessor to tell the xbee (transmitter) what to do.
The receiver end is much simpler because battery life will not be an issue.
thanks!
Xbee used standalone as a transmitter?

Yes, it is possible. Check out the Tweet-A-Watt project for an example of how it is done: http://www.ladyada.net/make/tweetawatt/config.html

Thanks, Limor, I appreciate the tips. Your tutorials rule.
I'll be placing an order the Xbees soon!
p.s. I saw you live doing a demo of a phone jammer at SXSW in Austin a long time ago. Amazing.
