Hardware: (2) Xbee-pro 900 version 1061
XBee Explorer USB ;connected to computer (sparkfun)
Xbee Explorer Regulated; connected to device (sparkfun)
Background: I have forced my usb to give 250mA to make sure i have sufficient power.
Problem:
When trying to connect to X-CTU software the modem (xbee) is not recognized until i reset the device. I have tried many solutions to fix this that have been posted to this forum. I have restored defaults and all writing of the firmware is passed but when i reconnect the modem it does not get recognized until i reset again. this is on both modems. baud rates are correct
I gave up on doing the same thing over and over trying to fix the issue. so i went to terminal to test and when i send
“+++” it returns"OK." or sometimes"O…" never just “OK” when i give the command for it to find other devices “atnd” it returns gibberish(different gibberish every time). I have a photo of this but don’t see a way to post this.
When doing a rang test my device shows that Tx and Rx have activity. showing me that it is sending and receiving. my device modem has the Dout and Din shorted.
I have tried almost everything short of throwing in the trash and hopefully whatever great solution this community has for me.
