I am working on a project that requires wireless communication between two Xbee 1’s, one connected to a computer through the Xbee Explorer and one connected to an Arduino Fio. I am new to arduinos and pretty much all programming. What is the easiest way to program the XBees so that they are a serial communication line and I can program the Fio wirelessly? I’ve tried X-CTU, but I must be doing something wrong because they’re not working
Unfortunately the Arduino Fio doesnt’s support over-the-air programming out of the box. To get it to work, you need to modify the baud rates of your Xbees, and also do some small modifications to your parts. There is a detailed guide on how to do this on the Arduino website here:
Hope this helps,
I followed those directions and still got an error message when trying to communicate with the two XBees. I think the problem may be the baud rates. I got a message on X-CTU that said the baud rates from my XBee and the computer are different. I changed the baud rate before writing to my XBee to 57600, then changed the baud rate on the com port to 57600. Can you see any potential reasons as to why I still may be having troubles?
