XBee S2C vs S2 serial data

[Paul Richardson]

Hi I have a network up an running and working great. http -> Digi Cloud -> ConnectportX2e -> Xbee S2 -> Arduino -> RGB LEDs (3 systems working great).

I recently needed a few more xbees and bought x2C version as I got a good deal on them. For the life of me I cannot

get these up and running properly. I have them set as router AT (well x2c version of this which is the default

setting for a x2c xbee). I can see them all in my connectport network.

Everything else is identical to the S2 hubs I have running and working great.

When I send these a serial string the very first time - after powering up hub (xbee, arduino) - all work fine - after that nothing but below.

First line is my data - I parse and turn lights to proper color. After the first time I cannot receive any

other data. Just keep getting <XBee Internet Gateway (XIG) 1.5.1 @ IP: 127.0.0.1>.

Sorry as I know this is vague but I've hit it with a hammer all week - any ideas?

Update:

I just tried disconnecting arduino tx to xbee rx and it now works...

Just have xbee tx ro arduino rx connected.

This now what I see in my serial monitor without any data printed

from XIG...? Would still like to know what is going on as I can rx

xbee to arduino tx on other hubs. My app will eventually use this

to know if lights are on or off.
