Arduino/XBEE to Arduino/XBEE Series 1

Wireless & IoT

I have a Pro Mini and XBEE pro Series 1 as an AT end device talking to

Pro Mini and XBEE pro Series 1 Coordinator AT. The end device is sending the numbers 501 alternating with 502 every second out via serial. In the receiving XBEE (hooked straight to the XCTU now) can see the same data coming in on the monitor.

How do I use my receiving Pro Mini to capture the data? Can I use a Serial.read routine?

I think part of the confusion is that when I hook the receiving XBEE to the Pro Mini and also I hook the FTDI cable to the computer and use the Serial Monitor I think I am monitoring the XBEE and cutting out the ability of the Pro Mini to receive data. Yes?

I don’t want to use API frames. I might need to send back AT commands.

OK, after searching for quite a while turns out Arduino has a good ‘BLINK’ starter programs for my scenario.

I have end point sending. A check on the Coordinator shows correct inbound traffic when I hook the PC up to the FTDI. If I upload the Physical Pixel sketch to the Coordinator and unplug the FTDI I am not getting results.
