Hello Stefan, i figured out that on the shield there has been soldered a diode between Tx of netduino and Pin3 of the RN-XV module. I bridged it and all trouble has gone. I will also attach a photo Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

Can you attach the photo of what you did to get the RN-XV module working on the xbee shield

You could do the same for the PIR sensor, also with jumper wires

Hi Stefan

I have connected RN-XV WiFly module to the netduino using breadboard and it works great.

thanks

Good to read that!!

I am having a problem connecting this pir device PIR Sensor
I cant detect any movement also cant seem to get to work

Could you make a seperate thread about it on the forums? I would love to look into it, but it's not really related to the RN-XV module anymore

Hi trencaesh,

It can happen that it takes too much time to get a good signal, I'm not sure. if you enable debugging, you'll see a lot more.

That's strange, could you please upload (a part of) your project so I can see what's going on?

    }
}

One thing is funny if I disconnect and reconnect the output works. The second time i run the code it errors out when it tries to create the socket

Thanks, I'm going to test that scenario. Please stay tuned...

I did a very small modification to the code ( :ph34r:

) that could have fixed this issue.
Could you download the latest version? Also, it has a new debug method so it's easier to look into problems.

Stefan, Would it be possible to create a web server with the RN-XV? Can it continuously listen on a port and handle multiple simultaneous requests? It looks like the simple socket does not have the ability to send data as streams or chunks, so sending a 50kb file would require changes... right? Thanks, -Valkyrie-MT

The module can support only one request at once. It has some built-in http features I don't use though, but very limited. This driver is just for a single tcp/ip socket.

Hi Stefan,

I got the XBee Shield (show in the pics below) from sparkfun but I didn't come with the black connectors (as shown in the picture of your project demo), so I can't mount it on top of my N+ at this moment until I solder those connector to this base. I am not eletronic savvy, so I can't come up with a better name for thise connectors. Do you know where to get them?

Thanks

Yea, Sparkfun does sell them seperately: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10007

It's hard to see from your picture but I think there are 4 of those on top and 4 in the bottom. Am I right? Any soldering involve?

And one last question, can I use this same shield on top of the N Go shield base as well?

Thanks
