New Post: XBEE Series 2

tdragger — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:15:58 GMT

I'm pretty new with XBee but my understanding is that once you configure the modem to use the API you cannot send it AT commands. Have you tried configuring it using Router AT to see if it responds?

Hi,

is there a document which describe the commands supported by Digi' XBee devices?

Hi!

I've been racking my brains with a strange issue since one week.

I have a XBEE S2 configured in API mode as a ROUTER (FW 23A0) attached to a Netduino Plus through COM2.

The issue is that every time I try to send a command to the module I get no answer (but I can receive), instead, I get a timeout. I've debugged the code until reaching the point where line serialport.write(bytes[],0,bytes.lenght) in xbee.cs (within function ExecuteNonQuery(XBeeRequest request)) is executed unsuccessfully. (BTW the method serial_port.isopen() is true )

I have checked the the content of bytes[] and is correct, moreover I've sent them successfully using X-CTU.

Is there any option in the constructor I missed?

I've tryed the following:

XBeeModule myXbee = new XBeeModule(SerialPorts.COM2, 9600, ApiType.Enabled);

//I have even tryed to use class XBee instead of XBeeModule!!! -> same result!

//and setting parity, stopbytes and etc. -> no result!

myXbee.FrameReceived += new FrameReceivedEventHandler(myXbee_FrameReceived);

myXbee.ModemStatusChanged += new ModemStatusChangedEventHandler(myXbee_ModemStatusChanged);

myXbee.Open();

And in another method I call: myXbee.Execute(new AtCommand("MY"));

Then...fatality! Timeout!

I know the module is well configured because I wrote the code by myself and the module was answering.

It's a pity...hope somebody has a clue to figure out where's the mistake:(

Thanks and happy new year!!!

New Post: xbee receiving samples from end device

hillaerts — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:27:50 GMT

Hi,

I got one xbee ("slave") configured to send sample data every 5 seconds to a second xbee ("master"). I see activity on the usb explorer board of the master every 5 seconds but the event FrameReceived is never triggered. Directly using the SerialPort class does work, every 5 seconds I'm receiving data. If I execute a remote AT command from the master to the slave then the FrameReceived event is triggered with the data from the slave.

Should receiving sample data from the slave be handled in a different way?

BTW, I'm using XBee's Series 1.

Thanks,

Steven

I have released a preview version of this library at the above link which is in the Net MF Issue Tracker..

http://netmf.codeplex.com/workitem/1232

Please post all feedback in that thread.

Would it be possible for you to post it. (code or assemblies). I'd like to use it but i'm on a short schedule and needs something fast. Alternative is to write something myself for receiving and generating traps.

Best Regards

Joakim

Hi Julius,

I'm also very interested in your development around SNMP. I'm also trying to port an exiting library to NETMF, but it requires many adaptations, and my lakes in SNMP packet description gives trouble....

I hope you'll be able to post your library soon, and moreover, integrate it directly in the TCP stack of MF....

Regards,

Louis

Hello,
I have recently started to develop with Micro Framework. I want to know what is it exactly MFToolkit. Is there any documentation on the differences / extensions than the original framawork?
Thanks in advance

Yes, some samples would be great. I figured a lot of this out a couple years back but now none of the code I wrote at the time works with the latest version. Would love to see some examples of how we're supposed to be using this library properly. Thanks!

Can we please have some code samples on how to use the MFToolKit XBee library on the Tahoe-II development board?

Your replies are not in vein...

I will be posting at the very least a manager / messenger for use with Snmp V1 and V2 Protocols.

Please make an issue at the Micro Framework Issue Tracker so your voices can be heard!

http://netmf.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic

I am in talks with Lorenzo regarding having my implementation included into the Micro Framework but just my saying it's a good feature is not much when your dealing with thousands of users and many potential support scenarios.

Please make an issue there and set the expectations of what is required for your application!

Sincerely,

Julius R. Friedman

Hi Julius,

Did you finally provide your code ?

I'm very interested in what you've done. I need trapping and also respond to remote request (an Agent in fact) from my embedded module, and I'm trying to port the SharSnmpLib, but it require a long...long....job to achieve.

Thanks for your feedback.

We are very interested, too. We're trying to develop a SNMP agent that raises traps whenever some kind of physical event happens.

New Post: Getting strange exception when trying to build

SebastianPatten — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:32:12 GMT

Never mind I figured out what was happening. From tracing through a few of your blogs I found that there are two separate compilations. One complied for a windows machine and one compiled for the .Net Microframework device. It appears that the ones that I wanted (ones for the microframework) are prefixed with "Micro".

I think you should change the folder structure to reflect this or make it highly visible in the documentation/home page.

Thanks for your contributions.

New Post: Getting strange exception when trying to build

SebastianPatten — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 17:37:56 GMT

Hi there - I tried last night using the DEBUG version of the toolkit for the HTTP assembly.

I added a reference to the Http.dll and IO.dll.

Apologies as I don't have the code with me, but I'll type out roughly what I had:

using(HttpServer httpServer = new HttpServer(new MyHttpHandler())
{
}

...

public class MyHttpHandler : IHttpHanlder
{
}

When i tried to build Visual Studio was throwing was reporting an error with the code, however the error read as a byte! Like 0x08....

Any ideas what's not working?

Thanks!

New Post: Communicate with XBee on Background Thead

wjvii — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:42:21 GMT

The XBeeConsole sample included with this library shows using a separate thread to handle the framereceived event. What I am looking for is an example that shows a good way to do two way communicate on a background thread with an XBee attached the PC. I searched the Internet for examples using things such as SerialIO which I thought might be similar and did not really find any good examples. I would assume it would be "best practice" to handle this on a background thread so the UI cannot block the receipt of data from the Xbee. However when receiving data on teh background thread how do you send data out that COM port that the background thread has open already?

Any examples, pointers to existing articles or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

New Post: XBee ZB

wjvii — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:15:38 GMT

I finally figured it out and it was that I had one module setup as an End Device so it was going to sleep. Since a Router can also perform all the functions of an End Device I reprogrammed the XBee module to be a Router API and it all worked just fine with my Coordinator in API mode.

Also, not sure if it would be necessary in all cases but since I was using various different XBee radio modules I set the Router Join Verify (JV) so it would swap channels if necessary after a power cycle/reset.

wjvii — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:28:34 GMT

I would be interested in helping out. My experience is similar to yours, not much API work but I am also interested in this and have some experience with the Netduino and have put several into use along with the XBee radios.
