Three XBee nodes communication [SOLVED]

Wireless & IoT
1

Hello,

I have been trying to communicate between three XBees, from an end device, to a router and finally to a coordinator.

My aim is to see the sensor value that is sent from the end device at the laptop (XCTU) connected to the coordinator.

I’m using XBee series 2 modules.

The end device is connected to a sensor board, while the router and coordinator are connected to two separate laptops using adaptor boards.

My first try was:

For end device: Program its DH and DL to the SH and SL of the Router

For router : Program its DH and DL to the SH and SL of the Coordinator

For Coordinator: Just left DH and DL blank

I expected to see the results on the coordinator, but the data was appearing only on the terminal of the laptop connected to the router.

How do I change this? I would like to move my coordinator around so I can do a range test, so I would like to see the data appearing on the laptop with the coordinator connected to it.

Thank you.

Try setting the End Device’s DH/DL to the Coordinator’s SH/SL.

There may also be network connections issues and forcing the router to connect the End Device to the Coordinator.

There is a recent thread that gives the solution for series 2 Xbees to re-form the network here:

Also, use the commands to query each XBee for its network connections. See the XBee document for the command details.
