ZigBee is a set of layers that work on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. One of these protocols
follows routing. The routing tables define how a radio passes messages through a series of
other radios along the way to their final destination

A single coordinator device in a ZigBee is used in forming networks. A router can be connected
to a ZigBee network that can join other network and send/receive information through the end
devices. These end devices can also send information and can be used to connect already
existing ZigBee networks.

An address of the desired destination is needed when sending a ZigBee message. All ZigBee
radio has different 64-bit serial address assigned to each one of them. It also has a 16-bit
address assigned to them when they are connected to a network. The 16-bit address can be
managed in the Xbee chip.

Each ZigBee network that is created has another 16-bit address called Personal Area Network
(PAN). There are 65.536 different PAN addresses available, each having the capability to
generate another 16-bit radio address below it. In theory, there is room for more than 4 billion
radios ZigBee network topologies indicate how the radios are logically connected to each other.

A pair network is the simplest network possible. It requires just two radios or nodes. One of
these nodes must be the coordinator so the network can be formed. The other node can be
configured as a router or an end device.

There is an obvious compromise to be made between battery size and battery capacity, and so
we decided to consider two configurations: (1) for usage cases where size is not a concern, e.g.
when the board is used for fixed environmental sensing, a large, high-capacity battery is best;
and (2) for situations where size is important (mounted on a performers body or a handheld
instrument, for example) and the battery should be as small as possible.

Real world testing scenarios: Much of the research agenda for the project was driven by many
years of artistic work and technological development of tools to facilitate the creation of
interactive performances and installations with distributed sensing and which used mapping of
such input data to complex parameter spaces for the control of sound and other media in real-
time

The Arduino consists of a simple open hardware design for a single-board microcontroller with
embedded I/O support and a standard programming language.

In many Zigbee applications, the total time that the wireless device is engaged in any type of
activity is very limited; the device spends most of its time in a power-saving mode, called sleep
mode. As a result, Zigbee-enabled devices are capable of being operational for several years
before their batteries need to be replaced.
