Good morning,

I tried the code that you provided to me, and the result is that Xbee no ok

That means that the xbee modules are defective or there is another problem ?

Hi Nour_Neifar,

Are you sure that your XBee module is configured to a baudrate of 9600 or 115200??

Have you managed to communicate with the xbee using an arduino and x-ctu? This is the first thing that you have to do to know if the XBee is configured correctly. there are a lot of tutorials that can help you.

First you need to know if they are configured correctly to use them in MySignals.

Good evening,

When i want tu use the XCTU software, i need an XBee shield to connect an XBee to the arduino or to use an XBee Explorer to connect an Xbee to the computer.
I have only Xbee_adp( not usb adapter) where the XBee is connected and then they are connected to to the arduino with cables.
here is a photo of Xbee_adp and the XBee

if i use the XCTU software in this case, it can't find any radio module.

There are some tutorials that explain you how to do it. For example:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Configu ... g-arduino/

If you put the arduino in gateway mode you can communicate directly with the XBee. If you don't configure the XBee modules correctly you can't use them.

I have never used a XBEE-ADP maybe you need to contact to the manufacturer to see how you can connect it to use with XCTU and configure the XBee module.
I think that you have to upload to the arduino a "bareminimum" code, then open an Arduino serial monitor and try to communicate with the XBee using different baudrates. Maybe it can work but I have never used a XBEE-ADP.

Also, you can configure the XBee module without XCTU and using an Arduino, you can see the commands in this part of the tutorial:
