    Just wondering is anybody is using the Digi Xbee S6 module.
    I’m trying it as my first test module
    I have an open guest wifi that I’ve used.
    It initialled configured it -.
    const char *wifiId = “MyGuest”; // The WiFi access point, unnecessary for gprs
    const char *wifiPwd = “”; // The password for connecting to WiFi, unnecessary for gprs
    It powered up, and didn’t appear to work.
    So enabled logging that I could find.
    it became all strange..
    I put it on XCTU/XBIB to read it and could see it did the WiFiID – but then it started behaving strangely
    So I’ve changed to this
    #if defined(TINY_GSM_MODEM_XBEE)
    const long ModemBaud = 9600; // Default for XBee is 9600, I’ve sped mine up to 57600
    const int8_t modemSleepRqPin = -1;//23; // Modem SleepRq Pin (for sleep requests) (-1 if unconnected)
    const int8_t modemStatusPin = -1;//BEECTS;//19; // Modem Status Pin (indicates power status) (-1 if unconnected)
    const int8_t modemVCCPin = -1; // Modem power pin, if it can be turned on or off (-1 if unconnected)
    ModemSleepType ModemSleepMode = modem_sleep_reverse; // How the modem is put to sleep

    and from reset I get the following
    with the last two sets of commands goign to the XBEE WiFi
    ATAC\r response OK\r
    ATHS\r 601\r
    ATCN\r OK\r
    then
    +++ response OK\r
    ATS1\r OK\r
    ATS0200\r OK\r
    ATWR\r OK\r
    ATAC\r OK\r
    ATCN\r OK\r
    then nothing ….
    It looks like it looses or is reinitialized from knowing its an XBEE Wifi
    Any suggestions on how to configure Xbee WiFi. I haven’t worked through the AT cmd set as I think I’m doing something wrong 🙁
