| xbee at commands |
 Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 2:05 pm |

Hi
I've searched and read a lot in this nice forum, but I have no clue where to start. I'm totally newbie into PIC, but what a new world that had opened up... I hope some of you can point me in the right direction.
I have a PIC 16F886 connected to a xbee and are able to send data to another xbee connected to my pc and read the values in X-CTU terminal.
So far so good, but how do I make my PIC talk with the local xbee?
I want to execute the following:
+++ to enter command mode
ATSL [enter] to get the low part of the serialnumber
ATCN [enter] to exit command mode
send the result of ATSL to the pc.
Thanks

Your xbee module must have a datasheet with a list of commands/data structure,etc. Surely there's a sample program on the mfr.s website?
Sending '+++' is easy but HOW is the xbee connected? I2C,SPI,SIO ? we don't know as we don't know what module you're using !
The more info you give the faster we can respond.
'+++' is the old Hayes 'escape' command code.... |

Thanks
Sorry for not providing that.
Its a DIGI XBEE series 2 module, in AT mode that is connected using the UART of the PIC(pin 17,18). I'm using the plain old rx/tx.
If other connection methods are prefered, please tell me so and i can look at that.
But to learn something I would like to understand how to use the UART.

| Code: | #use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C2,rcv=PIN_C3)
void SendSerial()
{
printf("+++");
printf("ATSL"\r);
printf("ATCN"\r);
}

Not sure what you want to do, hope this helps.

I can send using the printf, but how do i receive the result from the ATSL returned from the xbee?

I don't have your hardware or even a simulator running here.
This is just an IDEA...
| Code: | #use rs232(baud=9600, UART1, ERRORS, PARITY=N, BITS=8, STOP=1)
char serialText[];
int8 i = 0;
int8 SerialLenght = 16;
void GetSerial(void)
{
printf("+++");
printf("ATSL\r");
Enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
}
void CloseGetSerial(void)
{
Disable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
printf("ATCN\r");
sprintf(LCD_PUTC,serialText,n);
}
#INT_RDA
void isr_rda(void)
{
char c;
c = getc();
serialText[i] = c;
if(i==16)
CloseGetSerial();
i++;
}
void main(void)
{
clear_interrupt(INT_RDA);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
GetSerial();
while(true)
{
Blinky();
}
} |

I've tried modify one the examplefiles, but no luck.
| Code: | #include "16F886.h"
#fuses NOLVP,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,INTRC_IO
#use delay(clock=2000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=pin_C6, rcv=pin_C7, ERRORS, PARITY=N, BITS=8, STOP=1)
#define BUFFER_SIZE 32
BYTE buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
BYTE next_in = 0;
BYTE next_out = 0;
#int_rda
void serial_isr() {
int t;
buffer[next_in]=getc();
t=next_in;
next_in=(next_in+1) % BUFFER_SIZE;
if(next_in==next_out)
next_in=t;
}
#define bkbhit (next_in!=next_out)
BYTE bgetc() {
BYTE c;
while(!bkbhit) ;
c=buffer[next_out];
next_out=(next_out+1) % BUFFER_SIZE;
return(c);
}
void main() {
enable_interrupts(int_rda);
enable_interrupts(global);
printf("\r\n\PIC Alive\r\n");
do {
delay_ms(10000);
printf("+++");
printf("\r\nData => ");
while(bkbhit)
putc( bgetc() );
} while (TRUE);
} |
Sending the +++ to the xbee should return ok, but it just return +++

I downloaded the manual for your xbee device....
I suggest you reread the ..
Section 2.2.4 Command mode....
You _must_ do exactly as they say...
pause 1 second
send +++
pause 1 second
you do this....
printf("+++");
printf("\r\nData => ");
You're sending \r\nDATA = > " to the xbee which is NOT allowed !
You MUST read the manual and do as they say,sending 'weird' data withing useconds of the +++ isn't correct. |

Those 1 second gaps are part of the "Hayes" command set - if you skip them, you are not following the standard and it will simply ignore you. As Temtronic points out, you MUST include them.

Thank you very much. its awesome
I've change it to:
| Code: | void main() {
enable_interrupts(int_rda);
enable_interrupts(global);
delay_ms(2000);
printf("PIC Alive\r");
do {
delay_ms(2000);
printf("+++");
delay_ms(2000);
printf("ATSL\r");
delay_ms(2000);
printf("ATCN\r");
delay_ms(2000);
while(bkbhit)
putc( bgetc() );
} while (TRUE);
} |
And I can now get the result back to my terminal.
Now I just need to make it into some usefull functions.

The above code returns:
OK
4031F854
OK
But how can I verify that the +++ command returns OK before i continue? I've looked at the strcmp method, but can't figure out where to put it.. C is not my best friend 
Another question for making me understand my code: Is it possible to debug the code runtime to view what happens? I'm used to C# so I'm just trying to understand whats possible in this world. I have a iCP02 programmer from piccircuit
