Intel Galieo Gen2 with XBee S2

[NK]

I am quite new to this board and I have been trying to communicate between two galileos using XBee s2's.

I am using arduino software for this purpose.

Initially I tried shorting the tx/rx(Serial1) of the gen 2 and tried sending text and simultaneously printing when received.But it started printing junk values like forever until I had to close the program itself.

below is the code

///

int readValue = 0;

void setup() {

// put your setup code here, to run once:

Serial.begin(9600);

Serial1.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

Serial1.write("Hey how are you?");

delay(1000);

if (Serial1.available() > 0) {

int val = Serial1.read();

Serial.println(val);

}

}

///

I have a remote router API configured to the coordinator pan(connected to the gen 2).

Firstly, I had connected tx of module to rx of board, and similarly the rx of module to the tx of board.

Secondly, I had configured the router API to keep sending its ADC values.

Another observation was that , when the coordinator and router are connected to a usb and are observed using the XCTU software, I am perfectly receiving the sample values.

I tried using the XBee-Arduino-Master library, famous one for arduino, for receiving the values but again was unsuccessful.

I used the below code to print the values coming from the serial port.

//

void setup() {

// put your setup code here, to run once:

Serial.begin(9600);

Serial1.begin(9600);

Serial.println("Hello and welcome!!");

}

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

if(Serial1.available()){

Serial.println(Serial1.read(),HEX);

}

delay(500);

}

//

Any advice on how to proceed ?

Hi,

Have you read http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/000005913.html Intel® Galileo and Intel® Edison Board Shield Testing Report for...? Section 2 "XBee* S2 Module w/Arduino* Wireless Proto Shield". It contains a detailed explanation and code that has been tested with the Gen 2.

Review the document and let me know if you find useful information here.
