I need to knock something out but am having trouble with the software XCTU from Digi.
Anyone think they could help in the next 48 hours or so?
Will compensate for woreless sensor network help
or if someone has a book that would be more than appreciated as well
Start XCTU, then just put the XBees on the same channel number. They start jabbering like mad. Just invoke their Library at startup, and they pickup like any other Serial Comm Port.
at the heart of it XBee is a zigbee device and zigbee is just 900mhz wireless serial communications (ie null modem, dumb terminals, tty).
Of course the xbee is supported with micropython. GitHub - digidotcom/xbee-micropython
Sparkfun has a great guide:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/xbee3-thing-plus-hookup-guide/all
but as long as there an ftdi chip on your device then its a wireless modem to the os.
Yeah so it’s a little bit more complicated than that. Like XTCU doesn’t run differently on 5 different computers and has different issues
The one it does run on yo have to drop buad rate and then file system sometimes work
Cell phone app shows or doesn’t show all sometimes
Can’t find good documentation on programming Line passing using spi/i2c values too specific Different analog pins.
Ports keep switching type on me
How to fine tune latency with retries, ack, packet size, baud, pin measurements. Basically fine running.
Google just mixes in all the other previous models and interfaces. Can’t find good documentation for the micro python and is there even some good compiler with simulation or am I stick with notepad
At this point I’ve managed to configure it to create a pentagram and am about to damn this thing to hell today And or try exorcism on it if ya want to help
Well micropython is just plain python. As for a good compiler with simulation; that’s a bit subjective though how does one feel about matlab?
You aren’t going Point-to-Point, you’re setting up a Mesh. Mesh has serious latency issues, and the throughput gets throttled down to nothing. In that case, you’re going to have to read the whole book. Have Fun
I’m actually trying to go point to point.
Using broadcasting or explicit network addresses.
No hops
No Acknowledgements
Transparent or just straight API analog line passing.
Just cant seem to get the pin to line pass.
You got any experience with these?
The pic you drew showed Mesh. But you say it’s point-to-point for 3 eggs and 2 Servers…? Am I missing something?
I figured it out. Apparently direct line passing from A0 does not goto A0
it goes to PWM Pin 10.
I’ve been measuring the wrong pin for 2 days smh
