DE0 FPGA board , how to connect it to another FGPA wirelessly using two xbee sensors

can someone tell if it's possible to make two fpga's to communicate and send data without cables using two xbee pro sensors ?? and if it's possible can you assist me in doing that , like writing code...

No, you didn't, you asked for us to do the work. You need to learn how to ask for help in such a way as to get some help.

Here's a suggestion;

Hi guys, for my graduation project I have to XXXX. I'm new to FPGAs and would like some help and direction.

Here's what I am supposed to do YYYY.

Here's what I've done so far .... (or link to a PDF with a report)

I'm stuck on this aspect ZZZZ. I've tried AAAA, BBBB, and CCCC, but without much luck.

Could you guys please provide some suggestions on how to proceed.

At least show us you've put in some effort, and ask specific questions.

So in response to my rephrasing of your request for assistance:

1) Can two Xbee modules communicate with each other? (read the data sheet)

2) How do Xbee modules get their data? How are you going to connect an FPGA to the modules?

3) Where is your data going to come from? Are you going to send data from a PC to the FPGA, which sends it via Xbee to another FPGA, which is then read by another PC?

Your graduation project involves writing a report. Start writing that report now, starting with a description of what you are supposed to do. Call it the "Project Overview" or "Project Objective". Then write some notes about the features of the Xbee, along with how it can be interfaced to the FPGA, basically the questions I've just asked you. Add cross-references to your notes, i.e., when you make a statement in your document, back it up with a page number in a data sheet.

Here's an example:

This document is simply a set of my notes. Its not written for anyone in particular, though its written in a style to show others how these components work. Get in the habit of writing good notes, it will serve you well. This document is written using Latex (which supports makes it easy to write bibliographies and add hyperlinks) and the figures were drawn using Inkscape. All free software.

Cheers,
