Hello gang! Thank you all for the work provided here, wonderful thread.
I am trying to duplicate the steps John/af4ex has outlined.
Some details:
1. Vantage PRO2 product 6312 mfg code A50623A04 (on start up says rev may 27 2005)
2. pair of xBee series 1
3. xBee 'a' is plugged into ladyada's usb adapter, the adapter to a port on my computer.
4. xBee 'b' is connected to the Vantage per John's instructions
5. both xBee's have been configured with X-CTU
6. X-CTU is used for serial communication testing
7. when xBee 'b' had pin 2 and 3 shorted and disconnected from the Vantage I can perform a successful loop back test. So they do talk.
The problem:
connected to pins 5 & 6 of the Vantage, I can get no response back at all. Have tried sending TEST many times and per Davis a hex '0A'. I get nothing. I see no configuration setting on the Vantage in the menu. From ground to either pin 5 or six I measure an open voltage of 3v. I can send photos of my set up if needed. Anyone have any ideas what I did wrong?
