Since no one has replied, I'll post a few points.
1) ALL zigbee devices are 3 Volt devices so you MUST have some form of 'logic level translation' if you use a 5 volt PIC! Easiest solution is to use a 3Volt rated PIC. typically this is one with 'L' in the part number(18LF46K22 is 3V, 18F46k22 is 5 volt). Using a 3 volt PIC elimininates the need for 'logic level translation' devices(chips or transistors),extra wiring,etc.

2)SMD is NOT fun to solder, so get some 'modules'. Check to be sure they are 100% compatible.Some will run off 5 V but really are just a PCB, 3V regulator and zigbee so it it a 3 V module! See #1 above

3)search the 'code library' here, then google for 'drivers for zigbee,ccs c'. There may be something 'out there'. You'll also probably need the x-ctu PC software to program the zigbee devices. There's a huge learning curve running that program .... I gave up after 3 months of frustration..

4)I've yet to find ANY wireless communications modules that are simple 'install and work' that are economical(<$50 per device). Sigh, 100' of CAT5 works 100% of the time!
