I need help with reading analog data from a remote xbee using vb6 code.

I configured the xbee units with the XCTU software, but I can’t input analog data with that either.

Mark, thanks for responding.

Can you help me get an analog input on the XCTU?

The transmitter is a series 3 xbee on a shield and a Redboard. The receiver is an xbee on an explorer connected to the USB port.

Hi again,

I might be able to point you in the right direction for this question but can you please provide a bit more information on what exactly you are trying to do? Are you trying to send analog data recorded by the RedBoard between XBees or are you trying to use XCTU to configure one of your XBees to send analog data to the RedBoard? If you can provide more information on what type of analog device you are using and how you are trying to send the data I can try help or at least point you to some resources that may help you here.

Sensors are connected to analog input channels 0 and 1 on the transmitter - xbee/shield/Redboard. I want to send the data at 100 samples per sec to the receiver xbee/explorer connected to the USB port. I’ve read lots of pages on the Sparkfun and Digi websites, but nothing has helped.
