Grew up in Dillon, CO. Escaped CU-Boulder with a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Built some speakers for a while and eventually landed a sweet gig with SparkFun in ‘09.

Many SparkFun tutorials! I’ve written some pretty lengthy TS emails too.
How will you be developing code for the Edison? Here are a few methods we're exploring!
We're really excited about the MicroView -- a new Arduino compatible board with an integrated display! Check out why...
First impressions of the Arduino/Intel-hybrid Galileo board - an x86 Arduino! - a small example project, and our likes and dislikes.
Visual programming languages are a unique way to introduce tyro programmers to thinking like a programmer. Here are some of the great tools we've discovered that enable visual programming for Arduino.
Ultra-cool ultrasonic sensors are a perfect and simple way to add object or distance sensing to your project!
With the latest firmware (6.11 and up), the basic RN-42 Breakout is a good alternative, because it can be set to either SPP or HID mode (check out section 3.5 in the command guide). The multifunctional ability of that module has made this one redundant, so we’re retiring it.
Weird…the Code Bender test is working for me. After clicking “Start Test” on a good MicroView, do you see a short red blink after a couple yellow’s?
It should be in our Eagle Libraries on GitHub. Check in the “SparkFun-DigitalIC.lbr” library, the device name is “FT231X”.
It’ll likely be 3.3V/8MHz.
Ha! Sewing needles are perfect. I added a little note and link to your post the tools section.
Thanks for sharing!
I used PuTTY on the Pi – it doesn’t give you the configuration tools, like XCTU, but it is a solid serial terminal application you can use to send and receive characters. You should be able to install it on your Pi with a sudo apt-get install putty command.
I get the same response from lsusb. I got it to send and receive data from another remote XBee, but that’s about as far as I went.
Nah, it’s just a 2-layer board.
It does seem memory-related. We can try taking out as much as possible, until something works.
Wanna give this example sketch a try? It removes the Phant library, and all of the XBee configuring. All it does it construct an HTTP GET and send it out the XBee. It assumes the XBee is already connected to WiFi, and the destination server/port are already set up (which it should be, if you’ve run the other sketch to configure it).
It works for me. Posts to this stream (it’s already configured to post there, if you want a stream to test on).
Hmm. I still think it’s memory-related.
I might have been able to recreate the issue. Are you getting a 502 error printed to the serial monitor (if not, what is being printed to the serial monitor after the post fails?)?
Try commenting out the connectWiFi(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_EE, WIFI_PSK); and setupHTTP(destIP) lines in the setup() function. We can assume those have been correctly set for your XBee module earlier, so we don’t have to run them every time. If I take those out of the sketch, I get a success.
