XBee S1 Firmware Update Issue

Post by TheHof »

Hello,

I am using your adapter, an xBee Series 1 radio, and your ftdi cable. However, the xctu sw will not update the firmware on the radio.

I've spent hours looking for a fix to this problem. I've created a video of what is happening and I hope that someone can help!

I must be doing something very wrong. I've tried this with 3 different radios and an uno (Rather than the adapter) and they all product the same error.

Here is the video: http://screencast.com/t/ll3DPCiBi

Do you see anything glaring that I am doing wrong here?

Thank You!

Thanks for the response. I reached out to the XBEE support team who indicated that the FTDI cable that I am using is not correct. I ordered a new USB based adapter to see if that resolves the issue. I will updated this post if that's the case. I have two of the adapters and since both produce this same result, I don't think has anything to do with the soldering of the adapter. Although, it is possible that I made the same mistake twice.

OK - We're not XBee experts here. The Digi guys are a better resource anyway.
