Dear all,

 

Wen I use the USB cable I can communicate with my hexa: no problem

 

When I use the XBee I have problems:

- The user interface react very slow

- the terminal shows crc fail: "NavLink Bad Paket (Crc Fail)" very often: several times a second.

 

I use 2.0.40 software

XBee pro 50mW

Sparkfun USB Adapter on Notebook side

57600 speed.

 

What can i do? What I have done wrong?

 

thank you!

    Franz,

    Depending on the age of your SF USB Adapter, it may not have a voltage regulator that has sufficient current capacity to handle a Xbee Pro. The early SF USB Adapters would cause drop outs when used with a Xbee Pro. Do you have anyother USB adapters with regulators that can handle the current of the Xbee Pro to see if that is your problem? Take a look at these comments at SF concerning the USB adapter: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8687

    Just a thought.

    Regards,

    TCIII
