cannot get 3.simple_data working on xbee series 1

[Jeffrey Laut]

Hi,

I am have successfully ran samples 1 and 2, however I cannot get 3.simple_data to print "Hello" for me..

My xbees are configured differently from the default configuration as follows;

coordinator

 DH - 13A200

 DL - 40920E8B

 MY - FFFF

 NI - 01

 BD - 57600

 AP - 1

 D6 - 1

 CE - 1 (although I've read CE has no effect for series 1, correct?)

end-point

 DH - 13A200

 DL - 409AA188

 MY - FFFF

 NI - 02

 BD - 57600

 AP - 1

 D6 - 1

I have recompiled with the following lines in 'config.mk' uncommented;

OPTIONS+=       XBEE_LOG_LEVEL=100

OPTIONS+=       XBEE_LOG_RX

OPTIONS+=       XBEE_LOG_TX

The output of sample 3 with debugging is as follows;

I have the endpoint connected to another computer with a serial terminal open.  When I type into the endpoint, I'm expecting to see "Hello" printed on the terminal of the computer connected to the coordinator, correct?  I am not seeing anything, nor is the debugging logging anything on the rx line.  The xbee-usb adapters that I am using have indicators for rx and tx.  I can see the end-point transmitting when I type into it, however the rx light on the coordinator does not blink.

Using the default firmware settings, I can create a serial connection and communicate between them using only serial terminals, if that helps.  

My biggest doubt is how the xbees are configures (although I've played with several different settings).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

correction; I just noticed I have the DL for the coordinator and the endpoint swapped in my description above.  That was not the problem.

Do you have endpoint in AT mode? When you open Terminal in X-CTU for Coordinator do you see something, when you send data from endpoint?

Hi Jeffery,

Please could you try what Beda suggested:

configure your two nodes to communicate with each other, one with libxbee running, and the other with X-CTU or another terminal open.

Type into the terminal, and you should see the libxbee sample respond, and send a return message.

thanks!  that was the problem.  the end-point needed to be in AT mode.
