another zigbee Communication question?

Projects Discussion and Showcase Home Automation and Networked Objects
#1

Hello,
I am have a hard time trying to get the zigbee S2 to communicate through the Arduino board.
I have configured the xbee using X-CTU and they communicate through that software manually so I know they are transmitting and receiving. But when I load a script they do not work... I have tried different types of file types with no success.

1 Uno Board
1 Mega Board
2 Xbee Shields
2 Xbee S2

Receiving Code

/*
   now try for all data types.
   once you load, you check the serial monitor
   then comment that data type and uncomment the next one.
*/
//char __data = ' ';
String __data;
//int __data;
//byte __data;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  while (Serial.available() > 0) {
    __data = Serial.readString();
    //    __data = Serial.read();
  }
  Serial.println(__data);

Sending Code

int TRIAL1 = 1548723;
char _data = 'A';
byte b = B10010;
String Trial2 = "hsfbuy45";
String Trial3 = String (TRIAL1);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println(TRIAL1, DEC);
  delay (1000);
  Serial.println(_data);
  delay (1000);
  Serial.println(b);
  delay (1000);
  Serial.println(Trial2);
  delay (1000);
  Serial.println(Trial3);
  delay (1000);
}

At the end of the day, I just want it to transmit data (sensors) from one Arduino and display it on the other Arduino. I just can't seem to get it to talk through the serial Monitor. Thanks for any help..

2 Xbee Shields

There are several different XBee shields. Which one(s) do you have?

Are you using the serial port to talk to the PC or to talk to the XBee? Yes is the wrong answer. So is both.
