Communication with two XBee's and Arduinos over serial

I have two XBee's connected to two Arduino Uno boards (one for each XBee). I connected each XBee to the X-CTU software, and have set the following: XBee 1 Pan ID = 4270 DL = 10 MY = 20 XBee 2 Pan ID = 4270 DL = 20 MY = 10 Both DD = 10000 IC =…

Arduino Mega not flashable with XBee PRO S2B

I have an Arduino Mega 2560 with a libelium XBee Shield. If I have an XBee S2 mounted on it and set the two jumpers to the USB setting or remove them, I am able to flash a program onto my Arduino. However, when I'm mounting one of my XBee PRO S2B (I…

Using Arduino and XBee at the same time

I have 2 Arduino Unos, 2 XBees and 2 Wireless Proto Shields. The first setup has a humidity/temperature sensor (SHT21P) and it writes data to serial and it works (I've tested it). Now, the other Arduino with shield and XBee is plugged in my PC to…

Arduino IDE Based Data Logger - Stops Running

I have created a data logger that writes to a MicroSD on a user defined interval. The data logger also has the ability to use an xBee unit to transmit the data received to a base station. This is a link to the code and pictures of the data…

Arduino Due - wireless programming via Xbee

I would like to integrate an Arduino Due into a project, which probably will evolve over time and will need some re-programming. Instead of having to disconnect and pull out the Arduino Due out from the enclosure, I was wondering whether it can be…

Does data coming in on Arduino serial port store for some time?

I am using Arduino Uno and my question is when data is coming on Rx pin and at that time our program is not checking Serial.available() Then after some time the program will check Serial.available(). Can we read data? Does it get stored in memory?…

XBee shield communication

I need to communicate between two Arduinos using XBee. I am new to XBee and hardware. The two Arduino Unos need to send a message (number) to each other and light an LED or play a sound, when they come close within a 10 meter distance. So my doubt…

Serial.write displaying repeating output from Xbee communication

I want to use xbee's to communicate between two different arduinos. I'm using this tutorial as a guide to setup my xbee's. I've already used XCTU to setup one xbee as a router and another as a coordinator (both in ZIGBEE AT mode). I used XCTU's…
