Re: xbee_api.lib and other associated files in Dynamic C 9

I looked through the latest Mouser catalog at the newer Rabbit modules, but it doesn't seem like there's anything that is a direct replacement for modules in the RCM3xxx line.  I don't need Ethernet, and it wasn't immediately clear to me if the newer modules also were 3.3V with 5V tolerant I/O.  I'll have to read the specs more closely, unless someone can suggest a direct path up from the RCM3710 I have presently (or maybe things in the RCM36xx line, since I don't need the Ethernet port that exists on the RCM3710).

Thank you for the link to your XBee library fork.  That looks like it should make for some good reading, and would give me some other development options on different platforms.  I'm sort of shying away from running an embedded Linux device, even though the Raspberry Pi looks like a good deal.  I spend enough time on Linux as a part of my employment, it seems like doing any more development for it would be too much like my job.  Though to be fair, I haven't tried developing for any embedded Linux as of yet, so maybe it'd be different enough that I would still find it enjoyable.  I think I'm pretty much fixated on at least building one complete project with the Rabbit module I have.  No sense wasting capable hardware if I have it.

My fork (https://github.com/tomlogic/xbee_ansic_library) includes support for the new Wi-Fi XBee module.  If you wanted to play around with the code, you can start on your PC and then port to an embedded platform (BeagleBone/Raspberry Pi are POSIX and can make use of that library).
