Hello,
I need to use three XBees in the line passing mode. Two XBees are attached to different sensors serving as transmitters and one XBee serves as a receiver to trigger a motor based on the condition of the two sensors attached to the transmitting XBees. For now, I tried just to attache a force sensor that produces 0V when not pushed and 3 V when pushed to one of the transmitting XBees (the sensor is attached to pin AD4/DIO4). I left the 2nd transmitting XBee free not attached to anything.
I have the connection right and there is an association between the transmitters and receiver. They are connected fine.
Problem:
The problem is that when I am measuring the voltage on the AD4/DIO4 pin of the receiver, I see the voltage fluctuating between 0 and 3 constantly when I do not push on the force sensor. When I push on the force sensor, the voltage on the AD4/DIO4 pin of the receiver changes to 3 volts for sometime and again the voltage starts to fluctuate.
Question:
How can I configure these two transmitting XBees and one receiving XBee to get stable sensor status from each transmitting XBee?
XBees configuration parameters:
Receiver Transmitters
ATID 1234 1234
ATMY 5678 1234
ATDL 1234 5678
ATAI 0 0
ATIR 14 -
ATIT 5 -
ATBD 3 3
ATIU 1 -
ATIA - 5678
ATD0 3 4
ATD1 3 4
ATD2 3 4
ATD3 3 4
ATD4 3 4
ATD6 3 4
Thank you very much in advance for your feedback and assistance.
