I have used the Xbee API mode successfuly when communicating between two computers while they were attached to USB explorer (I send data and it is received). However when I try to do the same with the radios being attached to pic33 microcontroller, I’m getting strange results. Here is my setup:
A Xbee radio, router, attached with a PC And a Xbee radio, co-ordinator, attached with a pic33 microcontroller
The microcontroller sends broadcast data. Here is the API command:
7E 00 13 10 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FE 00 00 48 65 6C 6C 6F FD
7E: Delimiter 00 13: Length 10 01: API frame type and frame ID 00 x 8 : Coordinator 64 bit address FF FE: 16 bit network address 00 00: Options and braodcast radius 48 65 6C 6C 6F: Data (Hello) FD: Checksum
The same command works perfectly with both radios hooked to PCs and results in the XCTU windows.
I have debugged the whole transmit code and its sending the command as it should. I checked the TXREG registers in online debugging with PICKIT3. But nothing is being received in the XCTU window.
I have played with different delays, tried continuous and single transmission and everything I can think of but I get absolutely nothing in the XCTU window. What I want to know is that is that what do I have to do to make it work?
