Hello everyone,
Last night I took my laptop outside to test my telemetry in conjuction with the gps. The Oilpan was connected to the laptop and gps and xbee pro 100 wire antenna were connected to it. I think I had a loose cable to the oilpan because it was working for a little bit but as soon as I moved my autopilot system it lost power and then regain it but then I couldn't connect my telemetry back.
I tried to run the X-CTU utility to both xbees. The XBee Pro 900 RPSMA worked fine. The utility detect it and I was able to see my VID and baud rate just the way I defined them. But with the xBee Pro 100 Wire Antenna, the X-CTU complained that it couldn't connect to modem. I tried every single baud rate, but still it couldn't read it. Also, I tried to restore it, write to it but it failed. Is there a way to force a reset and write a new firmware to it? What should I do?
I have both the Sparkun USB and XtreamBee adapters, FTDI and USB cables.
