Getting the error: "“Cannot find reference ‘xbee’ in ´__init__.pyi´"

Hello

I am trying to make a simple script for my Xbee3 module, and I took the code (xbee-python/examples/communication/ReceiveDataSample/ReceiveDataSample.py at master · digidotcom/xbee-python · GitHub) and I am now getting the error “Cannot find reference ‘xbee’ in ´__init__.pyi´:
from digi.xbee.devices import XBeeDevice

Any idea what I need to change? I assume it’s micropython looking for the library in the wrong place or something akin to that?

I hope the above image gives any clarity to the issue.

I appreciate any help I can get! :smiley:

I would suggest looking at the examples in PyCharm. In this case, you would simply want to import xbee and import time.

import xbee
import time

This is a copy of my answer to your question on Stack Overflow.

You’re in the wrong repository. Those Python files are for Digi gateway products.

The XBee 3 products use MicroPython, and you’ll want to make use of the xbee-micropython repository instead. Per the README for that repo, you might also want to use the Digi XBee PyCharm IDE Plugin for development.

Remove the .py extension on your import statement so that it is specified as the following:

from digi.xbee.devices import xBeedevice

Tom Collins is correct and I should have caught it. You are using the Python repository for the Gateway products and not the Micro Python repository which is for the Modules.
