I'm having an issue with XBEE on the Arduino Pro board from Sparkfun. I'm trying to rule everything out, so hopefully someone can help...
I have it wired up Rx->Tx and power and ground. I can tell that my XBee is associated via a breakout board, however I cannot seem to get any data on the screen if I open the Arduino Serial monitor...
I was wondering if this has something to do with the FTDI board (sparkfun board) I'm using to connect the ArdPro to my computer?
Whenever I do:
if(Serial.available() > 0){
}
I never get inside the loop...
I've connected the XBee module directly to my computer (using Sparkfun board) and used XCTU and can see the info coming in, so the XBees are configured correctly...
I assume it is either the breakout board for the XBee (I tried 2 of these) or the Ard Pro having an issue...
Of course there is always operator error...but that is why I am here!!
Thanks!!
