XBee Arduino Trouble

Projects Programming
1

I have done a lot of research on XBee products and their connectivity with Arduino but upon actually wiring two up myslef, I have run into some problems.

My goal (at the moment) is to use the Serial Monitor on PC to send any data to Arduino Uno 1, which receives that data and sends it from XBee 1, to XBee 2. The Arduino Uno 2 then sees that data has come through and digitalWrites to an led.

Arduino Uno 1 Code (Transmitter):

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial Xbee(2,3);

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

void loop() {
if(Serial.available()) {
Xbee.write(Serial.read());
}
}

Arduino Uno 2 Code (Receiver):

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial Xbee(2,3);

int ledPin = 7;

void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT);
Xbee.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
if(Xbee.available()) {
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
}
}

Please note:

Any help would be much appreciated.

You have some XBees of unknown type, configured in some unknown way, connected to the Arduinos using some undefined hardware.

And, you are unable to get data from one to the other. Well, what do you expect US to do about it?
