![]() If this does not work, please specify the exact step where you could not proceed and what happened. type the letter ‘W’ in the window and press enter. Open the serial monitor - you should be able to select the baud rate. Place the XBee onto the Rover, set the XBee switch to that side, connect the battery and turn the rover ON. Connect the USB to XBee board with the XBee in place. If you are able to access this window, then upload the same W/A/S/D code to the rover, and then disconnect it. If you have the Arduino software running on your computer, there should be a serial monitor / terminal at the upper right side of the screen which allows you to send and see serial communication via a specific port. The XBee modules included in the kit are series 1 and are essentially plug and play replacements to a serial cable - no configuration required other than the serial communication method (baud rate, data bits, parity, flow control). wp/arduino/new-easier-xbee-for-mac-lion-os-x-10-7-with-arduino/ The directions I am following are on this website (I realize this is for OSX10.7 but I was hoping it would work for 10.6) After that I am not able to further configure the Xbee. Cool Term seems to connect to something “SUBmodemfa141” but I think it should say “serial port…” Using Cool Term I tried to connect to the Xbee. The XBee is connected to the XBee version 2 adaptor and the USB directly to the adaptor (is this correct or do I need to have the XBee connected to the UNO board?). I am trying to use Cool Term, suggested by other websites. (the ROver is working fine connected directly to the computer.) It also seems that I first have to set up the Xbees, and I would be grateful for any help. I gather now that this is designed more for PC but that it can be done on a MAC. I don't think I was doing anything different than I am now.I am trying to get Xbee communication working for a Rover using a Macbook Pro running OSX10.6.8. I did get the Xbee working briefly yesterday on the Mac, but don't remember what I did to accomplish that. ![]() I can take out the Xbee and plug in my Arduino and the Arduino finds the USB ports just fine. Using Cool Term, I can't see any USB ports when the Xbee is plugged in. I plug the Xbee - on the USB adapter board - into the Mac, but the Mac doesn't recognize it at all. ![]() ![]() When I take the Xbee to the Mac is when I have problems. Now time for some action, download CoolTerm/Putty or even XCTU in two PC’s, plug your XBee with adapter board to them, here we as shown below we are using CoolTerm. I can use X-CTU as a terminal and querry the Xbee using AT commands. On the Windows machine I am able to update the firmware on both Xbees, making one a Coordinator and one a Router. You can also monitor the handshake signals via the signal LEDS in the right corner. #Using xbee with coolterm serial#Īfter pressing this button the character your type are send to the outer-space via the serial port, and characters it receives are displayed in the window. I'm also using Building Wireless Sensor Networks by Robert Faludi, O'Reilly, 2010, as a guide CoolTerm is still Idle, press the Connect button to open the serial port. Since X-CTU is required to update firmware on the Xbees, I also borrowed a Windows 7 system and loaded up X-CTU.
