Xbee communication

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
#1

Hi all,

I have a problem with my XBee's, let me explain:

On Module 1, I have 2 buttons, each button corresponds to a letter to be sent On Module 2, I 2 LEDs If I press the button 1, 'a' is sent, the LED goes on great If I press the button 2, 'b' is sent, the LED does not light up .... But I press the two buttons at the same time, the Leds is ON but flashing.....

Anyone have a clue how I could fix this??

Thank you

Sure do. Not enough information.

What kind of XBees? How are they configured? What are they attached to?

On Module 1, I have 2 buttons, each button corresponds to a letter to be sent

Switches would probably work better.

My Xbee are S2, first is coordinator AT and second is router AT

Sorry, yes they are switch

}
void loop(){

Module 2

}
void loop(){

     if(Serial.read() == 'A'){
        digitalWrite(Led, HIGH);

        digitalWrite(Led, LOW);
     }
     if(Serial.read() == 'B'){
        digitalWrite(Le, HIGH);
        delay (10);
        digitalWrite(Le, LOW);
     } 
  }

You send a letter. Let's say it's a 'C'.

There is a character to read. You read that letter. It's not an 'A', so you read another letter (oops). That's not a 'B', so you read another letter (double oops). You really need to compare the SAME letter to 'B', 'C', 'D', etc. That means, of course, that you need to save the letter.
