XBee Pros Unable to Talk w/ each other

Hi all,

 

I have two XBee Pro 9's (XB09-DP in X-CTU) and have been unable to get X-CTU to read either one as the correct XB09-DP. What tipped me off to this problem originally is that when connecting my entire setup to the Ground Station software all I get is junk telemetry.

 

I am able to write the Modem VID and Baud Rate (use 999 and 57,600 per the manual and since I have a EM406 GPS) in XCTU. But when I click the "Test/Query" icon to make sure that the it wrote correctly it always states XB09-DM?

 

I believe that I am following the manual to the letter on how to correct this, but to no avail so far. I have also attempted what Chris Anderson instructed someone who was having what sounds like a very similar problem, seen at this link

but this does not seem to work either. The process that I've been using is I manually select the XB09-DP from the drop down menu, write it, read it, select Modem VID and Baud Rate (999 and 57,600), and write it again. After all this I check the 'test/query' button and it's always still XB09-DM.

 

Any help is appreciated. After looking through the manuals and forums I am out of ideas so I could really use some help and suggestions. Thanks

  • I have also been having the same issue trying to setup the XBees, they will only show up as XBP09-DM even after following the suggested steps.

    Hope someone can help.

    Cheers
