| + | **Notes:** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Upload Sending Code to Router/Sending XBee (Change to Relay Address) | ||
| + | - Put Xbee on Xbee shield and arduino | ||
| + | - Set shield to "Dline" | ||
| + | - When done uploading code, set back to "UART" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Upload Relay Code to ATmega 328P (Change to Coordinator Address) | ||
| + | - Use FTDI, connect wires to corresponding pinouts on ATMega barebumblebee | ||
| + | * RTS - Reset | ||
| + | * RX - TX | ||
| + | * TX - RX | ||
| + | * VCC - Power rail | ||
| + | * CTS unplugged | ||
| + | * GND to Ground | ||
| + | - Power supply should only be FTDI (unplug battery) | ||
| + | - Arduino Setting (tools) | ||
| + | * Board: Arduino/Genuino Uno | ||
| + | * Port: (Select) | ||
| + | * Programmer: "Arduino as ISP" {for bootloading} or "AVRISP mkll" {for uploading code | ||
| + | Note: Make sure FTDI's DTR is connected to the capacitor not Pin 1 of ATmega328p. | ||
| + | LED on XBee should be on; not blinking? | ||
| + | |||
| + | **=== Range Testing w/ PCBs ===** | ||
| + | * Connect solar charging chip and relay xbee onto the PCB board (we used v4.0) | ||
| + | * Connect battery into the solar charging chip (Batt) | ||
| + | * Plug coordinator into computer | ||
| + | * Open XCTU program and click discover devices | ||
| + | * Select all ports and then click 'next' | ||
| + | * Dont change anything from "set port parameters" window; click 'Finish' | ||
| + | * Make sure coordinator is found; Mac Address: 0013A20041287FF9 | ||
| + | {{ :weatherbox:bumblebee:screen_shot_2021-03-07_at_11.27.21_am.png?400 |}} | ||
| + | * Click on select all device and then add select device | ||
| + | * Looking at the "Radio Module" side, looking at coordinator, click on discover remote devices | ||
| + | * Make sure Relay Xbee is identified; select all and then click select devices | ||
| + | {{ :weatherbox:bumblebee:screen_shot_2021-03-07_at_11.34.21_am.png?400 |}} | ||
| + | * Click on tools icon and select 'range testing' | ||
| + | * Click 'select local device": should say something like zigbee | ||
| + | * Make sure remote selection says ...FFB (Relay xbee) | ||
| + | * Change number of packets to 15 | ||
| + | * Start Range Testing! | ||
