This software establishes either a hardware serial or software serial connection using the right expansion header on the Arduino Esplora (the left connector appears unused).

ExploraXbeeRemote is a fork of the example EsploraRemote but it uses Serial1 (the hardware serial pins D0 and D1 which are on the expansion header at Pins 7 and 8. This is useful for making a wireless esplora controller.

EsploraXbeeController melds EsploraXbeeRemote with the EsploraKart controller software, making the Esplora responsive to input and outputing command when the buttons and joystick press/move making the Esplora a wireless controller. A cell phone emergency charge battery is strapped onto the Esplora with Xbee making it a truly wireless controller.

Finally EsploraXbeeRobot uses the Esplora to output ASCII commands when buttons are pressed and the joystick moved or clicked to control a robotic head wirelessly.
