More Arduino + Xbee series 2

[tre...@gmail.com]

Hello all, i've been searching the forum to see if this is happening to someone else, but no luck. Here goes my problem:

I have two xbee modules series 2 in API mode, with the ZNet 2.5 firmware. One is coordinatos and the other is router/enddevice. I just configured my modules with same PANID, and each one has it's own serial number. I have set no destination address, and no channel, since it'll be managed by the firmware (according to what i've read).

I have one arduino UNO and one Leonardo, both using the Wireless SD shield. I have uploaded the Series2_Tx (end-device) and Series2_Rx (coodinator, with Leonardo). When working, both have switches on "micro" position. I'm aware of using Serial1 for Leonardo, and i indeed recevie something from the endpoint.

My problem is that even with that simple example, i'm getting a api id 0x95. I mean, when i call getApiId() it always return 0x95, and then the communication get lost.

Should i use the Zigbee firmware instead of ZNet? Am i missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

What firmware and version are you using?

Hi Andrew, thanks for answering.

I have tried to communicate two XB24-BPIT-004 revA modules. I have also tried with another two XB24-BWIT-004 revE, but the same occurs.

The firmware for the coordinator is ZNet 2.5 Coordinator API - version 1147.
The firmware for the enddevice is ZNet 2.5 Router/End-device API - version 1347.

Apparently, they are latest firmware versions, since i can't select greater versions in XCTU.

Thanks a lot!

I don't see the ZNET firmware options, perhaps because I've upgraded to ZB firmware. In either case, the firmware that I'm using and is know to work is 2x41 and I recommend you try this version. Keep in mind the default for ZB firmware is cyclic sleep, so you'll want to ground the sleep find to keep it awake. Search for pin sleep trick for more info.

I see that there are a number of newer firmwares available. I'll need to get some more radios to test the newer firmwares since all my radios are tied up in projects.
