Example: enable sleep mode

This example shows you how to extend the battery life of an XBee Zigbee module. The example uses all three modules included in the kit to demonstrate how a Zigbee network handles messages when some modules are sleeping.

Configure one of the modules as coordinator and the other two as end devices with different sleep modes. An end device periodically sends the value of an ADC to the other end device. Since the receiver is asleep, the coordinator stores all of its messages and forwards them to the destination module once it wakes up.
