Hi all,

I've been breaking my brain trying to figure this out. I have an XBee series 1 that I cannot communicate with over the netduino's COM1. I have a node coordinator connected to my computer's serial port and confirmed that I can communicate Xbee to Xbee on my computer. The XBee is connected to a Seeedstudio XBee adapter for the arduino. I have connected the shield with an FTDI cable for testing from my computer and I have not had any problems until I try a simple write loop on the netduino with this code in main:

SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM1", 9600);
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("This is a test");            
port.Open();
while (true)
{
     port.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
     port.Flush();
     Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

Nothing is received by the node coordinator when this code is running. I have connected the FTDI cable to COM1 on the netduino and can confirm that the data is sent to a terminal on my computer. Any ideas on what may be preventing communication?
