Why do we need the Arduino Xbee shield here? Does this connect the Xbee to the computer? Because the Xbee connected to the accelerometer is simply on the Xbee explorer USB from what I can tell from your diagram and photo. How is the other XBee connected to the PC, and if this is where you need the shield, why is another XBee explorer USB not enough?Philipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11147983425326656380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604425971259502766.post-78942795148572727172010-11-09T07:49:00.894+01:002010-11-09T07:49:00.894+01:00I&#39;m not sure, sorry.

I have 2 analog inputs going to DI0 &amp; DI1. I find that the XBees become unstable after a while and can&#39;t be read by X-CTU and the sampling rate is also inconsistent. Do you have that problem?runningaftergodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13460449324518221150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604425971259502766.post-32501680627533815052010-11-08T23:28:15.095+01:002010-11-08T23:28:15.095+01:00I&#39;m not sure, but in general ground is ground.

I did all the updates etc.. But I am not using an Arduino board, instead I am directly true UART pins, communicating a micro (89C51) to a UFL Xbee module with a 2.4GHz Wifi Antenna. But so far I wasn't successful in receiving the data on the other side.<br /><br />I am using a UFL module with a wire antenna module, they both use 2.4GHz antennas so I guess that does not make a difference? Or do both Xbee modules that need to communicate with each other need be the same, as in Chip antenna with chip antenna only?<br /><br />another problem is, I am using the Explorer board, so far so good, I love it, but where do you actually see the numbers fly as you have stated in your article? Does the X-CTU show the results that are being sent from the Coordinator module, such as "Temp 24'C" etc .. ?<br /><br />I found a lot of help regards Xbee communication in the digi forums, but I didn't find a single post regards Xbees being used with micros only, without using any Arduino or Zbee shields etc..<br /><br />Any help will be greatly appreciated.Edmundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11581474697673682401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604425971259502766.post-3113737758562777412009-04-19T18:34:00.000+02:002009-04-19T18:34:00.000+02:00@Miguelio<br />I have not actually tried to replace the antenna yet.

The Xbee that came with the Arduino shield works just the way you suggest. The "other" one I purchased seems to be older, and only has 3 functions available, none of them being ZNet 2.5 Router/End Device API.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087413453907453645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604425971259502766.post-32160136299245434762008-12-14T23:37:00.000+01:002008-12-14T23:37:00.000+01:00Sorry for the late comment on old post.

If you haven't, API mode will not work to communicate with it. Try unchecking "Enable API" in X-CTU and then clicking "Read" under the "Modem Configuration" tab. If you're still having problems, the <A HREF="http://www.digi.com/support/forum/category.jspa?categoryID=59" REL="nofollow">Digi support forums</A> are quite useful.Damonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17362087152286203901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604425971259502766.post-35120505048963647982008-11-24T06:22:00.000+01:002008-11-24T06:22:00.000+01:00im getting problem on connect with api enabled, the modem query said cant detect modem type and firmware version is there any way to fix this?badgeekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15029601669001181937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604425971259502766.post-32526417242330639022008-11-22T19:42:00.000+01:002008-11-22T19:42:00.000+01:00Here's an xbee api for Java that supports both series 1 and series 2 xbees <BR/><BR/>http://code.google.com/p/xbee-api/andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13820407551032230009noreply@blogger.com
