I can't configure XBee using XBee Explorer USB

Postby ngoc_anh » Tue Jul 27, 2010 6:36 pm

Hi,

I have 1 XBee RF module and 1 XBee Explorer USB.

I plug the module on top of the explorer and use a mini USB cable to connect it with a PC.

Then I access the XBee module through X-CTU software.

It can detect the module after I press Test/Query button.

But when I type "+++", it doesn't reply "OK".

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thank you,

Try to reload the firmware to version 10CD.

USB Explorer should be from Sparkfun, right? The connection should be correct since the X-CTU can read the XBee. Might be your baud rate at the communication window?

Thanks,

I've found out the reason. I have another XBee Pro stater kit and it works perfectly.

So I checked the parameters in Modem configuration Tab and compare them with the XBee RF module.

Under AT Command section, I set the parameters the same as the starter kit since their Guard Times are different.

Then when I typed "+++", it was able to reply "OK". :D
