XBee wireless programming of Arduino

Succeeded today in remote wireless programming a Funnel IO Arduino clone.

I had previously followed the instructions from LadyAda and got a very flaky program load –particularly with large files. Now following the Funnel IO route I have a reliable and solid way of remotely programming the board. I am using the Arduino IDE to upload the code. This also works well with direct use of avrdude.
The secret lies in the XBee configuration –this works for me.

CommandCoordinator (i.e. a PC side)End device (i.e. a FIO side)
ATRE –Reset to defaults
ATBD44
ATID12341234
ATMY01
ATDLFFFF0
ATD335
ATIC8-
ATIU-0
ATIA-FFFF
ATRR3-
ATRO1010
ATWR –Write the changes
ATCN –Exit command mode

I think the main difference from my first attempts lies in the destination address (ATDL). I will test further to see what is needed –also how well this works for other Arduino types.
