I don't know if this will help anyone else, but two issues I'm having with the Xbees that I just purchased:
1: The status light doesn't 'flash' like all of the instructionals suggest it should, it is just solidly lit up. It doesn't seem to impair performance though?
2: The XBee will only work the first time after a new sketch is uploaded. If i go to view the Serial output, i see it launch perfectly. Then i click the view serial output button again, and it wont start up.
Any thoughts?
