XBEE point to point

hey guys,

i have 3 xbees series 1. what i want to do is when i put voltage in a designated pin in xbee 1, i want it to transmit to xbee 2 and xbee 3 giving me a high on a pin, and when a designated pin in xbee 2 gets voltage, to transmit to xbee 1 and xbee 3 giving me high on a pin, and when a designated pin in xbee 3 goes high, to transmit to xbee 1 and xbee 2, giving me a high on a pin.

i tried to play around with X-CTU, but i was not able to get it to work.

do you have any suggestions on what i can do?

thanks

Read about Digi’s Virtual Wire. In the XBee OEM manual. It’s widely available, can be downloaded.

Also, you may want to config settings to not use a PAN coordinator so any XBee can talk to any other using 64 bit long MAC addresses.

It’s a bit much to itemize here.

first i want to thank you for your prompt reply,

i first i tried to transmit from one xbee A to xbee B, configuring them as follows:

Remote Base

DL = 1234 DL = 5678

MY = 5678 MY = 1234

D4 = 3 D4 = 4

IC = 18 T3 = 64

IT = 2 T4 = 64

IR = 32 IA = 5678

i have voltage and ground wire. i can see Dout blinking on the transmitter end. DI4 is always high on the receiving, although i did not give DO4 voltage to trigger it to transmit.

am i wiring it the wrong way? or is my configuration wrong? or both?
