/*
 * Title: WriteXBeeOutput
 *
 * Objective:
 *    This example demonstrates how to write data to an XBee device connected to
 *    the ClearCore's XBee port.
 *
 * Description:   
 *    This example sets up the XBee connector and writes data to the XBee 
 *    device. Any data received is then read-in and written to the USB serial 
 *    port.
 *
 * Requirements:
 * ** An XBee device connected to ClearCore's XBee connector. Use the XBee in 
 *    Transparent Mode to simply send and receive data without packet structuring.
 * ** Another remote XBee, also in transparent mode and configured to communicate 
 *    with the first.
