Hello,
Can I use Arduino Uno with an xbee 3 zigbee?
Yes, but you will need an adapter like a [xbee explorer, the xbee is a 3 volt part and arduino is 5 volts and the explorer will adjust the voltage levels for you.](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11373)
My pc recognize it with the Explorer, but not with the Arduino shield combination. Do you have any idea on why it’s happening?
Dunno, maybe try the guide?
Can I get an exchange on the shield?
Hello Designer.
XCTU isn’t going to be able to see an XBee on the XBee Shield, you need to program it in the XBee Explorer USB and then move it to the shield once it’s been configured. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with your shield, just follow the guide YellowDog linked and you should be fine.
If you’re still having trouble, please post photos of the top and bottom of your shield and a photo showing it on your Arduino and we will take a look.
I have already tried that. Once the XBee’s are configured I’m using the Arduino shield as the local and the Explorer as my remote. XBee’s are in API mode. But when I connect local I get a Reset Window, if it doesn’t Reset within 10 seconds do a manual Reset, nothing happens.
Do you know if the TX/RX on the Arduino are the lines used for the USB serial conversion going to the PC?
Unfortunately we don’t cover API mode in our guides and I’m not able to assist you with that.
RX and TX on the Arduino go between the ATmega328 and the USB to serial converter chip on the Arduino, the the USB to serial chip handles data between itself and your computer.
