I am trying to configurate my XBee module by an Arduino pro mini that is connected to my computer by de FTDI basic from sparkfun. I already can write and send data from the Xbee to another Xbee module by the Arduino. My problem is that I want to configure the Xbee by the arduino. I am sending ‘+++’ with the arduino to my Xbee and want to receive the ‘OK’ from the Xbee with the serial monitor from the arduino editor. The problem is that I can send it but never receive and ‘OK’, and when I am trying to configure the Xbee the configuration never happened. So I cant reach the Xbee command line.
uint8_t pinRx = 0, pinTx = 1; //Initialise pins on the Arduino
char GotChar;
long BaudRate = 4800;
int incomingByte=0;
SoftwareSerial mySerial( pinRx , pinTx ); //Initialise SoftwareSerial
void init_USB()
{
Serial.begin(BaudRate);
Serial.println("Start");
mySerial.begin(BaudRate);
}
void init_XBee()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
int check = 0;
while(T_XBEE_CONTROLLER_CheckOK() == 0)
{
Serial.println("CheckOK");
Serial.write("+++");
delay(2000);
}
Serial.println("ATCH 8\r");
delay(2000);
Serial.write("ATID 1234\r");
delay(2000);
Serial.write("+++");
delay(2000);
Serial.write("ATPL 0\r");
delay(2000);
Serial.write("+++");
delay(2000);
Serial.write("ATAP 2\r");
delay(2000);
}
int T_XBEE_CONTROLLER_CheckOK()
{
char ch[2];
ch[0] = 0x00;
while(! ((ch[0] == 'O' ) && (ch[1] == 'K') ))
{
ch[0] = mySerial.read();
ch[1] = mySerial.read();
if((ch[0] != 'O') && (ch[1] != 'K') && (ch[2] != '\r'))
{
Serial.println("FAILED");
return 0;
}
Serial.println("SUCCES");
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Thanks for the response and the help, and also sorry for the late response.
I already solved the problem. The problem was the function write(). If you want to reach the command mode from the XBee you should only send "+++". If there is some kind of character behind the "+++" you can't reach the command line. The function write put a (for me) unknown character behing the "+++". So that's the problem for not reaching the command line.
To resolve this problem just use the function print("+++"). After using this function it is possible to reach the command line.
