Sorry I thought it was implied... when using X-CTU software there is an update button.

I'll go to there site now & get the link for the manual & post it I a few minutes.

hi or low,

every few weeks new xbee firmware will be available.

some with more and some with less problems.

this is the reason why i think about using an atrf212 or 231 .

and doing 6lowpan  over the air :)

having a mesh network in the air to play with <G>

@ robert 

As far as I know there are only 4 differnent firmwares for the XBeePro900.

2 of them are for the digi-mesh (DM) function set and now there are 2 for the (DP) function set.

I have been using their radios (mostly X-tend & X-stream) since before digi bought out maxstream.

I have found these radios to be remarkably stable and reliable.

I have less experience with the Xbee radios, and my only real complaint is that the 'active-low' config. line is combined with the 'data-in' line and that there is no discussion about it in the manual , I have been meaning to contact them regarding this but I haven't yet.

 

@ Ersin I haven't tried the new firmware yet.

If my experience with the X-stream + x-tend radios reflects on the xbee's , one can recover from any firmware disaster if you have an interface board from digi. (such as loosing power during an update)

I intend to fully bench test my xbees this winter.
