I initially thought I would need some help decoding the pay load but I found some functions in the Java API for XBee that does the decoding part. I testing the Java program today and it works just as it should. It grabs the XBee packets from the remote station and separates the sensor readings.
I am having a bit of a problem with the sampling rate though. I initially set IR = 3E8 which corresponds to 1000ms = 1s . Using this sampling rate the XBee works fine. However, this sampling rate is higher than I need. I really need to sample every 1 minute or maybe 30 seconds. When I set IR on the remote radio to 1 min or 30 seconds nothing happens. I wait about 5 mins and I don’t see any packets. The RSSI light does not turn on either. I also tried to set IR to 10 seconds and I got the same result. However, once I switched back to 1 second it started working properly. Any idea on what could be causing this problem?
