[amsat-bb] help with WRAPS (XBee version)

[David Rush]

Ron:

The XBee modules need to be programmed in order to work together.

Hopefully you have a USB board that you can plug an XBee module into, 
and plug into your computer, in order to (1) update the firmware (just a 
good practice in general) and (2) configure the two of them to work 
together.

You'll need a USB board to connect one of the XBees to your computer to 
use it for tracking.  Same board for programming them.
