- You Reply: Hi, I have another question regarding the MiniQ Robot and using it with XBee S1 modules.
I understand the hardware connection of the XBee and the robot. I have the robot programmed to follow commands coming from my keyboard and to avoid obstacles at the same time. I'm having trouble using the XBee to send the commands wirelessly.
Everything works on the robot when it is connected using USB, but it doesn't seem to recognize anything coming from the XBee.
My XBees are configured to talk to each other in AT mode and they can control LEDs and switches on breadboards, but I can't get them to send a command from my computer in X-CTU to the miniq. - You Reply: I do not want to use any WPM modules. I want to use XBee modules. I know how the XBee modules work, I've used them before. I just want to know if there is any way that I can connect the XBee modules to the DFRobot MiniQ?

I have the Series 1 XBee modules. They aren't wifi or bluetooth.
Here is the link to what I'm using:

When I tried just connecting the XBee module to the XBee adapter that connects the MiniQ to USB to the computer, it didn't work. And then when I tried connecting the XBee to the slot on the board for the Wireless Programming Modules, that didn't work either and I think it fried my XBee module because it no longer works. So I ordered a new one, but I want to know if it is supposed to work through the XBee adapter before I break another one.
Thank you for helping me!
