XBees are talking for real

Turns out what was missing was a resistor between the bus pirate and the receiving line on one XBee. Then it was a resistor between the other XBee and the receiving line for the ACV Pic. Either way, with all of our 1Ks in place, we have communication!

Oh, and blinky lights. The E128 has enough ports that I can control all the lines on 5 RGB LEDs (for display atoll possession status) and still have room left over for accelerometer and potentiometer inputs, a whole bunch of other switches, maybe some debugging lines, etc. Good stuff.

Things for me to do by the end of the week:

• I know transmitting is working on the CVC, now I need to be able to receive.
• Get it reading sensor data and composing messages accordingly.
• Start parsing messages from the ACV, other players, and wherever messages will come from.
• On that note, read the communications protocol carefully and understand everything I'll have to handle.
• Package everything nicely into state machine format.
• Start soldering the final versions of circuits as they finish.
