Have done several successful Arduino projects using XBees. Just getting going with my first Teensy project. Trying to power a pair of Teensy's and Xbees, on the SparkFun xbee adaptor boards for Teensy, using laptop usb. The Teensy's power up and work just fine, and I've done a bunch of programming that's working for the Teensies at this point.
Used XCTU to ensure both bees are in their default configurations, setting only the network id and medium power. Using the SparkFun usb explorer, both radios seem fine and when I transmit through them the red led on the board lights clearly.
On the Teensy board, I see no LED activity for send or receive, nor any indication on serial monitor that anything is being received.
Teensy version = 3.2
XBee = S1
I guess my question is, in the default configurations, should I be able to power the zigbees by usb power on the SparkFun board? The red LED by the Teensies lights up except during program upload; that's all.
While I don't think it's a code problem I'll include the code below just in case, with one sending and one receiving.
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial1.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
for (int i=0;i<50;++i){
Serial1.write(i);
Serial.print("transmitted data: ");
Serial.println(i);
delay(500);
}
}

int i;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial1.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
if (Serial1.available()){
i=Serial1.read();
Serial.print("received data: ");
Serial.println(i);
delay(20);
}
}
