Hello,

I got a RN-VX module (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11047) and I'm experiencing some issues.

Firstly, I connected it to a mbed board (like Arduino, 3.3v, GND, Rx and Tx), being the mbed connected serially to the pc by USB, and tried to access it via serial terminal, with no success. I didn't get any response from the terminal window.

After that, I connected the nodule to a Xbee explorer (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8687), which got the module running. While following the manual, I entered the command mode successfully, with '$$$'. Although, all the commands I tried to issue after this, returned error. I exited command mode and disconnected it, while looking for answers.

After this, I couldn't connect to the module anymore.

I also read that the module could be accessed directly by wifi..... which I couldn't, because it's not broadcasting the ssid.

Another data... the Led's states are: Green blinking rapidly, orange at half of green's speed and red at half of orange's speed.

Thanks in advance.

These modules have a ADHoc mode which requires you to pull a certain pin high. You can try that option. Look for the information in the datasheet.

With that option you will be able to connect to the modules over the air, very easily.
