    horay, i just made the wireless connection between the platform and my laptop using my new pair of Xbee S1.

    I can turn the motors using the the keyboards via the xbee. Thanks grey for the hints. I Appreciate it.

    I havent try it with the gamepad becoz when i try to move platform something burn in the platform pcb. was it because i change the speed of the motor from 100 to 255 ?

    below the pict of burning pcb.

    Yes the Xbee's are Series 2 model.

    unfortunately i broke one of the module whiles trying to connecting them days ago, when i try to change the firmware on purpose to make it work  ;D and i can not acessing the module via USB port  :-\.

    I will try your advice as soon as i got another modules from the store.

    Will inform you later.

    It Works. And as i expected :

    1. The connection / command to the platform came from my laptop (via serial connection on Arduino IDE). If i can give note here for code by Phoebe, the EN status for the motor M1 and M2 are reverted for every direction  :D . but i believe it will depends on the author and the constructor taste wether to put it straight on the code or the wiring. Which i prefer latter.

    2. i can read which button are press or value of the joystick position via serial windows on IDE.

    my next challenge now :

    Communicate between GamePad and the Platform using Xbee.

    I already have 2 Xbee cards (2 mW PCB Antenna - Series2 Zigbee Mesh). I have try to connecting GamePad with Xbee and my laptop using X-CTU software but cannot joining these two Xbee.

    Any Suggestion ?

    ,regards.

    You Reply: Hi Everybody,

    I just bought Cherokey 4WD Platform and assemble it accordingly. But unfortunately i didnt find any documents on how to wiring up my Arduino UNO or how to make it works with the Gamepad (i also bought it) using the Xbee modules (i have 2 xbee modules too).

    Can any body help me with these ? at least give me any sample sketch or drawing so i can maximize these parts.

    Thanks before hand
