Hi
I'm new to this stuff (have a bit of PIC experience) - so I'm experimenting with a pair XBEE's (S1)
I have an XBEE dongle and a Redboard with an Xbee Shield
I have XCTU installed and the Xbee Dongle causes me no problems - finds the Xbee etc no trouble at all. But, I can't find the other Xbee on the Shield - despite being able to locate the appropriate COM port XCTU just won;t find the radio.
I swapper radios over and I can confirm that both radios can be found on the dongle. I've also uploaded the Xbee sketch and confirm that the radios can communicate between XCTU and the Serial Terminal on the Arduino IDE. I tried for find the Shield Xbee on XCTU with the sketch loaded but that just says the port is in use.
I also tried changing the position of the DLINE / USART switch on the shield - to no effect.
I'd really like to be able to use XCTU for both radios (for configuration) but as it is, looks like I will need another Xbee Dongle to do that?
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
Peter
