Dear Forum,
i'm trying to use one xbee on the PICAXE "connect" board" to 3 other xbee's also on AXE210 connect board.
All worked!
However, there was limited some range so I changed the xbee( series 1) to xbee pro ( series 1); I also upgraded the 3.3v regulator.
But it has not increased the range. I've tried another xbee pro. I've used the wizard to reset factory default so the power setting is 4(which is maximum). I've also measured the 5volt rail current( before the 3.3v reg) and both xbee and xbee pro boards draws 80mA ( on board led's). I transmit every sec so expected some deflection of the current meter to reflect what should be TX Current: 270 mA (@3.3 V)[ from the data sheet]
Any thoughts please ----- Tim
