Troubleshoot wireless transfer of sketch with FIO

Hello everyone,

I have been have trouble with uploading sketches to my FIo board wirelessly. After some troubleshooting and analysis I think I have figured out the cause but haven’t been to solve it.

I have re-programmed and verified my xbee series 2. The 2 xbee modules are communicating with each other.

I have tested these in several ways:

  1. I put my xbee on separate explorer board and using different x-ctu terminals I am able to talk with each other.

  2. When I plug one of my xbee on the explorer and other on the fio board, and then give the ATND command on the x-ctu terminal I am successfully getting all the information from the router on the fio board.

  3. I somehow was able to upload a program when I first got the fio boards (about a month and half ago). So now when I have one xbee as coordinator on the explorer board, I am getting the values on the terminal.

The Rssi light on the explorer board is constantly on, which also indicates that the 2 xbee are synced. My problem is when I click the upload sketch button on arduino ide, the RX light on the explorer board also comes on and stays on steady for quite a while. This probably means that the xbee on the explorer is receiving data but then TX light starts blinking on the explorer board for a few seconds and I get the stk500_getsync() error.

It seems to me that the fio board is not responding. Could someone verify my analysis and also hopefully guide me to a solution.

Thank you.
