Xbee Adaptor Weird, Motion Problem

Post by balam »

I am using the xbee adaptor
on a breadboard. and jumping wires.
the most extrange thing happens: if I am close to the xbee works, fi I walk away stop working.
and sometimes is vice-versa, another problem is if I lift the usb adaptor ( all the prject is on piece of wood) the xbee stop sending data.

any clue why this is happenig or how to fix it.

Sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Try moving everything to a new spot on the breadboard.

sorry, was my fault.
I totally forgot that I had the lilypad code for flex sensor, and after serverl hrs of trbloshutting and moving wires around. I just remembered that the chip had code for sensor . totally forgot about that,
originaly my lilypad had just a plain serial print.
no sensor.

I re upload the original serial print line and now works.

sorry, I had a great lesson.
"keep track of things"
thanks for your help.
