Greetings all,
I encountered a problem and have been searching for solutions in the web. Basically, this topic is a follow up from another thread that encountered the same problem as me. One of the tutorials I went to is http://letsmakerobots.com/node/37243
So basically, after following the instructions from that tutorial, I am only getting readings of "0" for my RSSI in my Serial Log while the tutorial is able to get a range of numbers.
I have a very simple setup,
1x XBee Series 2 (Coordinator API)
1x XBee Series 2 (Router AT)
2x XBee Shields
1x XBee Arduino MEGA
1x XBee Arduino UNO
So, the Coordinator XBee is mounted onto the MEGA with the Shield and the Router XBee onto the UNO.
On both Arduino MEGA and UNO, two jumper wires criss cross the TX and RX so that the TX is connected to the RX on the Shield and vice versa RX to TX.
On the Arduino MEGA, I connected the XBee Series 2 (Coordinator) pin 6 to pin 10 of the Shield (RSSI in PWM).
The x-CTU settings are shown on the tutorial videos itself and the codes as well. I am wondering why dosent it shows the RSSI? I have tried reading it in HEX but to no avail. Is there something wrong with my setup or is there a better way to go about getting RSSI readings from AT to API?
*Reason why I am using API is because I may need it to do mesh topology with many other router ATs
Thank you very much for taking your time in reading this.
I will appreciate any kind of help as I have been trying to solve this for a month now.
