Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me I am trying to create a small WPAN/PAN using Xbee's and the Arduino shield, I'm using three Xbee's series 2. One is connected to my computer using an explorer which is the coordinator and the other two are end devices which are connected to the computer via the Arduino and Xbee shield.
In the X-CTU environment I can get all the Xbee's connected wirelessly and communicating with one another with no problem.
The problem that I'm having is when I upload code to the Arduino's. I don't know if I'm right in thinking that to upload code to the Arduino to control the Xbee's say the physical pixel program, that turns a light on and off using "H" and "L" I need to take the shield off as it interferes with the board?
If this is correct the problem occurs once I've uploaded code to the Arduino and put the xbee shield back try to find the Xbee with the code in the X-CTU environment when I try this error appears "Could not find any device in port COM34 > For input string: "ERROR""
I have checked to see I have the right board, port and baud rate I've also gone into device manager to check if they are actually the right ports for my Arduino's but I'm still getting the same problem though if I clear the code off the board I just uploaded and go back to the X-CTU environment I can find the Xbee again fine.
Any help would be much appreciated
