Hi Guys,

 

I have an XBee 24 Series 1 and I'm trying to use it on my Netduino Plus using an Arduino Wireless Shield.

 

It works beautifully until about the sixth or seventh command that I send to the module in API mode through the serial port, then it doesn't respond. If I ignore that lack of response and continue to send commands, it works again for an arbitrary number of commands and stops again.

 

My serial port is set up for 9600, No Parity, One Stop Bit, and 8 Data Bits.

 

I do not send and receive simultaneously. I have also tried flushing the port after every send and receive. And I've tried waiting 5 seconds after every command. These things didn't work.

 

It seems to not be related to the type of commands I send.

 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Andre, 

 

I can't think of anything in particular that could be happening. I have a couple Xbee Series 1 and Xbee Pro ZB modules and haven't had any troubles as of yet. If you can share a simple and short code sample, I can test it with my modules to see if I have any similar issues. 

 

Also let me know what the firmware version is on your Netduino Plus so I can match apples to apples. 

 

Cheers,

Steve
