I have an arduino fio board and experiencing a lot of difficulties with the wireless programming through xbee.
First, I tried to upload a sketck to arduino fio board through FTDI cable and I was able to do so. But the problem rise when I try to program the board wirelessly through the xbee modules.
I am doing the exact same thing that the website is suggesting (The Arduino website for Arduino fio programming.
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardFioProgramming). I use 2 Xbee s1 modules and a sparkfun XBee Explorer USB adapter (which I modified and put a jumper between DIO3 and RTS). The xbees are talking together, (I have tested them on two xbee to serial adapter) but when I put one of the xbees on fio board, I am not able to upload sketches through that.
I am using a usb cable to power the fio board. I do configure the two xbee radios with fio xbee config tool. one of them as the programming radio and the other as the fio radio. But When I try to upload the sketck via xbees, the following error shows up:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x32
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can some one please help me figure out what the problem is?
I am uploading the same sketch as the one I uploaded through wire. should I change it? (I mean should I specify some where that i am going to use xbee?)
I have to say that while I am trying to upload the sketch wirelessly, the RSSI LED on both explore kit and fio is lit and also the TX led blinks also the D13 led blinks as well.

could you guys please help me figure out what is the problem?

No experience in Fio but Cytron has shared a tutorial on this.

Did u go through it?

yes, this is what I did exactly, but the wireless is not working.

Slider switch on the Fio is turned ON?

yes it's turned on.

A few clear photos of the hardware connected with power and USB would help.

Hi all,

I'm encountering the same problem with Mr.sanazbehbahani with the following error:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x32

By the way, the wireless devices that i'm using are xbee series 2 and i have followed some setting on xbee by the tutorial http://tutorial.cytron.com.my/2012/12/0 ... duino-fio/

But it still din't work and keep uploading sketch failed. Here is my decives connection and shown in the picture that i have uploaded.

Are you kidding me? I went through the tutorial link that you give and I cannot see any photo showing your connection? Reading it further, the XBee should be connected on the back of Fio, not using the SKXBee as shown by you. Also the tutorial is using XBee S1, not S2.

Are you sure you are doing it correctly?

I dun understand why u connect base XBee GND,CTS,5VTX,RX and DIO3 with your Arduino Fio board.
This connection definitely wrong! btw, where is your Remote Xbee?
They should be in pair, if not how you going to establish connection between XBee?
Please check again the tutorial provided by cytron,
