Receiving 802.15.4 and ZigBee sensor data frames in Meshlium

This code example has been tested and improved to be executed in Meshlium with the data coming from a Wireless Sensor Network created with Waspmote.

This program reads through a serial port the information incoming from Meshlium's XBee module.

File:
"sniffer.c"

Compilation on Meshlium:
gcc sniffer.c -o sniffer

Usage:
sniffer S0 19200

Note:
Serial port speed should be set on sniffer execution with the Xbee module speed rate.
