Hello;  
I am a user of the XBee modules. I’ve had problems in the transfer of  
firmware to the modems.  
My radios are XBP24. Which list of firmware is incompatible with these radios?  
How I can solve these problems? Now my radios don’t respond to any computer messages, I can’t read / write to Xbee’s.  
I have reviewed some solutions on the Internet, as do a reset just when the error window appears, but I have not got any solution.  
Thanks in advance  
Anton

Hey Check out following video.

[http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=IN&amp;hl=en&amp;client=mv-google&amp;v=fxOqQZD-oaM&amp;mobileflash=1](http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=IN&amp;hl=en&amp;client=mv-google&amp;v=fxOqQZD-oaM&amp;mobileflash=1)

But always remember, that you are using correct modem types, function set and firmware version in the x-ctu software.

Hello;  
Thanks for the quick response … I have reviewed the video but nothing … Perhaps the  
problem is I do not use any interface board between the XBee and PC. I use an Arduino without microcontroller connecting via USB. To connect the Arduino and the Xbee, I use the pins:

3.3V (Arduino) -\> VCC (XBee)  
GND (Arduino) -\> GND (XBee)  
Reset (Arduino) -\> RST (XBee)  
Tx (Arduino) -\> Din (XBee)  
Rx (Arduino) -\> Dout (XBee)

When it’s time to reset, I push the reset button on my Arduino … But nothing happens.  
My radio is XBP24-Z7WIT-004rev H. …  
With all this information … Any suggestions? I do not really know what to do, I’m confused …  
Thank you very much  
Anton
