Hi,

Anyone know why the zigbee modules take so long to initilise approx 5 minutes.

Can't be right, then still don't work though ???

Cheers
James

Hi James

They do take a couple of minutes initialising on my systems. Not done any real tests on setup speed depending on what sort of PIC i use though.
Have you got the system set to verbose, so you can see the messages on the LCDs. Can be a bit disconcerning, just watching a blank LCD for a couple of minutes not knowing if anything is happening.

I did have a few problems getting things the settings just right myself, when I first got the Zigbee boards.
Try my test files, that will at least let you know the hardware is working ok

Hi John,

Thanks for the relay and help, the Co-ordinator program is fcf but the end node is "c" think maybe the wrong type you posted ?

Can you forward the end node and I will try once more.

Thanks Again
James :)

Hi
Have a look at the GSM test file on MM website
This has the function you are asking for.
The Enter Message Macro is the actual part you need.

Note
be aware the flowchart wont simulate though as it uses a "C code box"
