XBEE 1 isnt talking to XBEE2

Post by kennymac64 »

I'm using XTCU and two XBEE radios connected to two separate USB ports on my PC to try and get tx and rx fun going.
It appears that one XBEE is transmitting, but no receive on the other end.
Hmmmmm.....
I should mention that I'm using a Spark Fun break out board for one hookup and the adafruit dock/USB board for the other.
Thanks,
Ken

Does it make a difference if you swap the 2 XBees?

Firmware version: 22A7

Config changes: Changed baud rate from 9600 to 19200 and then back to 9600
I have confirmed that both are set to 9600.

Thanks

Are these both series1 xbees? If they are series1 then follow these instructions to set them to communicate.

You need to set those up to communicate. They do not work "out of the box" There is some good info here http://www.faludi.com/ and on Google
