I spent quite a while on getting Arduino's with XBees running in API mode working with Max/MSP and I used or got inspired by quite some code I found by people sharing it, so here is my finished, working patch for others to use or be inspired by.

It uses the input from a Logitech Wingman joystick to send it to 1 to 4 XBees. Some comments are in dutch but it might be useful anyway. It's called puppetmaster because I used it to control vibrating motors that were attached to actors' limbs to make em behave like string puppets.

I'm pretty new to Max/MSP so please forgive the vagueness of my question. I'm trying to set up two Xbees to talk to each other for the first time and so far I have had only limited success. Using the following blog post as a guide, I have been able to briefly transmit data from one Xbee to another, but not the other way around: 

If you have any general or specific advice about the process you went through initially to set up the Xbees and get them talking, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
