I got a Xbee2 got it all connected did a map scan
Under 24 hours later I can no longer connect to the device using XCTU and also cant recover it, I get "There is not an active bootloader in the module" and "putdata1: sent only 0 of 1 bytes"
Anyone managed to recover a Xbee2 (xb24-z7wit-004)
Let's just say I was referred to this thread by a helpful member of the community from another thread discussing...well, never mind that we don't want to light any fires here.
And BINGO, one of the FIRST posts I read is this !!!
Xbee3 is very versatile with the ability to scan and map your network as well as analyze your channel it is very useful for troubleshooting your network.
But in addition it is a strong router device (or end device) making it highly recommended.
I own 5 of them 2 as end devices in my vehicles (used as arrival sensors) and 3 as routers and for mapping/analyzing.
They are one of my most used devices.
I should add that some would like these built into the hub and well that would be nice it would add to the cost of the hub.
These give people the option.
crazy price
noticed there hasn't been much stock for a while.
But you can still get the surface mount version from Digikey for a better price than that.
Still up approx. 20-30% from what they used to be though.
Weird because the government says inflation is only about 7%
wish I knew where they bought their stuff!
I'd like to add an Xbee, primarily for mapping my Zigbee network. Can someone point me at the current versions of the gear that I will need...I'm more than a little confused about all the boards/connectors I've been seeing when I Google Xbee - I see Digi International, DigiKey, Mouser, Sparkfun, etc., and a plethora of stuff.
What should I be buying, and any recommendations for where I should buy it? (Covering my gammar bases.)
Darn...I don't need three, and don't feel like spending $100 for something I'm doing mostly on a whim/for fun. Since I have plenty of Zigbee repeaters already I just want one unit to do some Zigbee mesh mapping. I have a few Zigbee antennas laying around, so I do already have that.
Sorry to bother you, but can you point me at the "1-pack" version of this so I can monitor that and see if/when it comes into stock?
This is what I've been using; even with international shipping its cheaper than when I bought mine a few years ago: Digi XSTICK2 - XU-Z11 ZB - NEW | eBay
My Digi XStick2 is on the way, got the one off ebay. The lazy part of me won out, and the stick looks like it will be the simplest option...I'll be back after it arrives, with plenty of confusion about how to set it up and use it.
