Dear Colleagues
I need your help to get out of this problem.
Context:
I am making a sensor that works with an ATMega328p to measure the voltage of a panel and send the data wirelessly via an XBee, to a computer.
I'm already in the testing phase and I just need to integrate the programming in the microcontroller to be able to test the whole sensor mounted on a breadboard.
How does the programming or sketch work?
This programming is made so that it is in an infinite loop until a signal is sent from the computer. Once this signal is received by the XBee, the system goes out of the loop and starts sending data periodically.
The problem:
When sending the signal from the computer to the sensor it does not react.
What have I done?
Using Digi's XCTU software, for the Xbee, I found out that I can do an antenna scan and detect the surrounding antennas that belong to the same channel and ID. And the antennas can communicate with each other, which leads me to believe that it is not an antenna failure.
