Yet I try to run this bit of test code:
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(12,OUTPUT); /power adapter
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(12,HIGH);/power adapter
Serial.print('H');
delay(1000);
}
And there is no sign of tx communication on the board.
I have set up so the Tx an Rx pin of the nano are connected to the Rx and Tx pins respectively, there is power to the the adapter and I can see, using the serial monitor, that the arduino is sending something.
Am I missing something obvious in my configuration?

I don't know anything about xbee but your problem might be that your serial monitor is sharing pins 0,1 with xBee. So take a leap of faith, and tell us what happens when serial monitor is disconnected. Another option is to leave the monitor connected, but communicate with your phone.
You might find the following background notes useful
When I had this problem with an Xbee Wi-Fi and Arduino Leonardo the issue was that I was sharing pins 0 and 1 with serial monitor and the Xbee device. I simply used the software serial libaray to set up a UART connection with the Xbee on pins 8 and 9.
Slightly different to what you're doing but everything I did and my code used can be found here
Theres my section of code on there which is probably on this site, but the code allows the arduino to send anything from the arduino serial monitor to the Xbee module via TX and RX pins.

Not on a Leonardo, you weren't. The Leonardo uses Serial to communicate with the PC, via the USB to serial converter, and Serial1 to communicate with pins 0 and 1.

Sorry for late reply, I had moved on to other aspects of my project but have just got back to this now. I have tried using the software serial and still no response. It is as though the adapter does not register any serial communication happening through it. I have grounded the board and supplied it with power. I have sent off for a new adapter in the hope that it is a hardware problem rather than coding or human error.
