I can’t seem to get my Xbee pros to communicate. I connected the xbees using Hyperterminal and configured with X-CTU as described by this tutorial:
http://www.ladyada.net/make/xbee/configure.html
Firmware is up-to-date and both Xbees are at 57600 baud
I then followed this tutorial to allow my Arduino Lilypad to communicate with my computer:
http://www.ladyada.net/make/xbee/arduino.html
One Xbee is configured as a transmitter and the other a receiver.
After all this configuration, I transferred to a Macintosh laptop, connecting my local xbee to my laptop via Xbee Explorer USB.
Here is an image of my wireless Arduino set up with Lilypad Arduino:
Both Lilypad Xbee and LilypadA each have a power supply and are connected together through TX and RX (switched).
I then tried to upload a code that should allow the Arduino to communicate with Max/MSP. But no luck. I’m getting uploading errors.
What am I doing wrong? I assume the xbees should be fine and dandy but they are not communicating. The RX light is not blinking either fyi.
