Software installation

XBee & XBee Gateway XCTU

Hi,

I’m new to this xbee realm. I downloaded XCTU. I was wondering if I need another software/driver to download?

I’m really really lost [:(]

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello Heavenly,

What is exactly your problem? Aren’t you able to detect the XBees? Try downloading the FTDI Virtual COM Drivers. Best regards,

If necessary, you can also download an FTDI virtual COM port driver from Adafruit: http://www.ladyada.net/make/xbee/download.html
