Back Ground

I am not able to get my Xbee to create an end to end communication. I can communicate with the pieces individually, but when connected together I am not able to establish a connection.

My Xbee Setup:

Code Base: Arduino Platform Aeroquad v 2.4 ArduPilot Mega with IMU Shield (oilpan) http://store.diydrones.com/ArduPilot _Mega_kit_p/kt-apm-01.htm

Xbee model

2.4GHz 1mW Xbee with chip antenna http://www.sparkfun.com/products/ 8664

Xtreembee board

Summary

Test Configure Modules Setup Connecting two xbee modules via USb and use XCTU tool to configure baud rate and test connection Check harness connection and found it to be OK Check code to confirm correct parameters. Remove Xbees and run crossover between USB Explorer and extreembee board. Run Serial port test code to determine telemetry port. Connect Xbee to USB Xbee explorer and run X-CTU tool Connect second Xbee to extreembee board and connect extreembee board to IMU Shield. Send Data request “S” Results Able to send text data across from one to another Confirms RF settings and baud rate correct

Check Harness Connection Check Code Cross over cable and port test

Compares to online reference. All locations correct Able to communicate via crossover cable and port is correct (serial 3)

Harness correct

Code configured Port is correct USB Explorer working

Complete System test

This was done with the use of two USB Xbee explorers on a PC.

Firmware versions end Device 1247 Coordinator 1047 Confirms Xbee’s are working and configured correctly

Test2 – Connect XBee to IMU Shield – DONE

With Xbees connected 1. Xbee are powered up 2. Tried master and slave setting 3. Tried Reversing TX & RX 4. Check pin with online reference 5. Confirms...
