XBee Pro Parallax Adapter

Post by amilich »

Hi!

I'm trying to configure my XBee Pro S3B using the Parallax adapter, which does not have a reset button. This suggests the module cannot be used. Is there anything I can do to use the adapter with my XBee?

Have you asked in the Parallax forums?

So I successfully got it to reset by touching the reset pin to GND on an arduino plugged into the same computer, but I'm still having issues communicating between the two radios. I can connect to one radio over XCTU, but, when hooking the other up to my arduino (XBee TX to pin 2, RX to 3) with this code, I receive question marks and parentheses.

Code: Select all

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
// XBee's DOUT (TX) is connected to pin 2 (Arduino's Software RX)
// XBee's DIN (RX) is connected to pin 3 (Arduino's Software TX)
SoftwareSerial XBee(2, 3); // RX, TX

void setup()
{
  // Set up both ports at 9600 baud. This value is most important
  // for the XBee. Make sure the baud rate matches the config
  // setting of your XBee.
  XBee.begin(9600);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  if (Serial.available())
  { // If data comes in from serial monitor, send it out to XBee
    XBee.write(Serial.read());
  }
  if (XBee.available())
  { // If data comes in from XBee, send it out to serial monitor
    Serial.write((char)XBee.read());
  }
//  XBee.write('a'); 
//  delay(500); 
}

Not sure if this helps, but the green light is faintly on and not blinking (using the adapter described here: https://learn.adafruit.com/xbee-radios/arduino-link).
