Maker of dead Xbees

Post by tori »

So, I've managed to kill 3 xbees so far. I'm new at this, but as far as I can tell too much voltage has fried them, plus 2 adapter boards. I've got working xbees and boards that I can test against, and none of the fried xbees work with known good adapters, nor do known good xbees work with the dead adapters.

I've tried resetting the xbees with the known good boards to no avail.

That was some expensive lesson. :)

My question now is there anyway I can salvage the adapters by replacing a part or two?

Thanks.

yes make sure you dont provide more than 3.3V to any of the pins on an XBee -except- to the RX/TX pins if you are using an adapter such as the Adafruit one that converts the voltages
