i'm just looking for someone to help me with my xboard,barely got it but i cannot get it to work even using the tutorial on the product page.
(and ofcourse i change the ip address for mine)
I have tried almost everything, i swaped xbee,xbee baud,well the major problem seems to be the xbee(remote on the xboard) is not connecting with the xbee base,
The xbee radios i'm using i test them with a different arduinos (uploading code) the work good like i said same baudrate,and on the xboard i can't get to blink an led thru xbee.
The sketch you have for the tutorial it freezes, is there any other example code you may have? to see if the x board works or is it faulty?
By the way, i've check for continuty with my multimeter and on the xboard where the xbee sits there's no continuty between the "tx and the tx (on the programing port)" "rx to rx" there's continuty.
thank you there

I just found out what my problem was :-[ ...."POWER SUPPLY" not enough to power the whole unit, working like a champ now thank's again
;D sounds terrific

There is a resistor between the Tx pin on the Xbee and the programming Tx pin. This is a protection required by the Xbee due to voltage differences, therefor it is normal.
Try interacting with the XBoard over the regular Serial port first, make sure it is working and responding. If it works with the Serial monitor. Then the problem is with your XBee modules.
