Xbee Clicker

Description

Our mini project was to build a clicker system for classrooms using Xbees. The clicker system has one teacher node and several student nodes forming a star network. There are no lcd screens used in this project. This project instead connects to computer that mbed is plugged into and uses that to print out data and read input data. Our clicker system also lacks a lot of features available in commonly used clicker systems. This is a choice we made to create a stable base system and we plan on adding more features later.
