Problems with arduino uno and xbee

(Sorry, I think that this post should be in the hardware troubleshooting)
I'm doing a project with 5 Arduino Uno+XBee Pro.

When i upload a program to arduino it works perfet but my problem begin when i conect my xbee shield with the xbee pro module.
The arduino looks like it is all the time inizializing (blinking very quikly the led) and don't star the program.
If i upload the program with the xbee shield conected it works fine but it stops work when i disconnect and conect the arduino from the computer.

One thing more peculiar is that one of the arduino alwais works well.

I'm using Xbee Pro modules (Ref: XBP24 -AWI 001-).

It can be a problem of incompatibility with XBee Series I have?

Which shield are you using?

If i upload the program with the xbee shield conected it works fine but it stops work when i disconnect and conect the arduino from the computer.

What program?

Disconnecting the Arduino causes a reset. Connecting it causes a reset.

I'm using Xbee Pro modules (Ref: XBP24 -AWI 001-).

What does that reference mean? Post a link.

The shield is the Xbee-Shield v1.1

I've tried with a lot of programs, for example the blink and the ASCIITable (examples in the arduino uploader program 0021)

And the digi's web is

(The is the PRO model)

Sorry for the double post! But i had posted in hardware too because i think my problem is retated whit this topic

Here's a clue-by-four. Please whack yourself with it a couple of times.

OK arduino without XBEE shield works perfect.

my problem begin when i conect my xbee shield with the xbee pro module.

Questions arise - besides those mentioned above:

  1. Is the xbee shield you are using compatible with the xbee pro module?

  2. Are you using other hardware that might interfere ?

  3. Can you post your code you use?

  4. Can you describe what you did expect and what you got?

  5. If you connect the xbee shield (without xbee module) and try to run a program does it fail [e.g. the shield is cause of the malfunctioning?]

  1. I think yes but i'm not sure because i don't know how can check it

2)No, only the xbee shield with the xbee module.

3)For example the blink programme (but not work with any else)

void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards:
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // set the LED on
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // set the LED off
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

4)I expect that the led included in the arduino, blink each second. And when i upload the programme works fine but when i disconect and conect the arduino the led flashing quickly like if the arduino was starting (It is like you are repeatedly pressing the reset button) .

  1. Without the xbee module all the programs works perfect

Well, just maybe, if you post a link to the shield, someone might know how to check it.
