Urgent help with the communication of the Xbee Pro S2B (Zb) and Arduino UNO

XBee & XBee Gateway XBee Programamble (S2C & 900 HP)

Hello everyone.

I have 3 XBee Pro modules s2b (zb) addition to this I have 2 ARDUINO UNO, 2 Xbee Shield 1 Xbee USB Explorer.
For now, I’m running tests of simple operation such as sending an upward counter programmed correctly in a ARDUINO UNO and sent by the Serial port and through the XBee Pro s2b module data arrives to another XBee Pro s2b module connected to Xbee USB Explorer but I have no communication response.

I’m programming modules through the X-CTU 6.1.2.
The configuration used was as follows:

MODULE GOING TO XBee USB EXPLORER (AT Coordinator)

Baud Rate = 9600
Data bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop Bits = 1
Flow Control = None

/// The FIRMWARE I programmed was the XBP24BZ7, ZigBee Coodinator AT, Version 20A7

ID = 55
SH = 13A200 (Default)
SL = 40A9552B (Default)
DH = 13A200 (Modulo Router)
DL = 40A73BE2 (Modulo Router)

D7 = (CTS) Disable (0)
D6 = (RTS flow control) Disable (0).

MODULE GOING TO ARDUINO (Router AT)

Baud Rate = 9600
Data bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop Bits = 1
Flow Control = None

/// The FIRMWARE I programmed was the XBP24BZ7, ZigBee Router AT, Version 22A7

ID = 55
SH = 13A200 (Default)
SL = 40A73BE2 (Default)
DH = 13A200 (Module Coordinator)
DL = 40A9552B (Module Coordinator)

D7 = (CTS) Disable (0).
D6 = (RTS flow control) Disable (0).
**** D7 and D6 were deactivated because when I put the module in the XBee Shield, ARDUINO program was reset, only the first value printed repeatedly.

When I disconnect the ARDUINO UNO from the PC and connect other power source (cell charger USB Output 5.5V, 1000mA max) the program stops working.
-The XBEE SHIELD jumpers are in the XBEE position.
-The Module CHANNELS can not be changed, nor the MY parameters (16 Bit Network Address).
-Make Tests (for each module) using AT commands in TERA TERM (+++, ATID, ATDH, ATDL, etc.) in any case the modules respond correctly.
-The LED ASSOCIATE the XBee Shield does not flash (this is NOT damaged)

I need additional configuration?
I need urgent help, I have two weeks on this problem, I am desperate and I have to present this work in one week maximum.

I would appreciate your help infinitely.

P.S. Excuse my English writing, I understand the vast majority of things in English, but writing is not going well.

Try running an ATND to verify your routers are on the network with the coordinator. If not, issue an ATNR0 on each of the routers.

The XBee is a 3V device and is NOT 5V tolerant. Connecting the board to a 5V power source is not a good idea.

Thanks for your reply, had already found the mistake and it was not mine.

The error was in the XBee SHIELD that was feeding the XBee Pro with 4 Vcc, then the XBee Pro not know what to do.
recommend ensure that the voltage sent XBee different models of SHIELD be checked before inserting an XBee module.

Sorry for my English writing, promise I’ll upgrade, good day !!
