RFBee Troubleshooting

Former Member

Hi,

     I have recently been trying to get started on a wireless project using two RFBees I bought years ago... And now I understand why I gave up the first time. All of the information on how to do anything, including uploading the firmware, is completely outdated. I cannot do a single thing with my RFBees because I uploaded a sketch of my own. It shouldn't be this hard to just communicate wirelessly, should it? Can someone please help me at least find a reliable guide on how to upload firmware with Arduino 1.6.4?!

    I do have an explorer, though. I am not having any trouble uploading any other sketch to the RFBee, except for the firmware. But first, the only reason why I uploaded a new sketch to the RFBee is because I couldn't make the Arduino communicate with it. There is a surprising lack in step-by-step instructions on how to transmit serial data. I have found a ton of articles on how it is soooo easy to get started, but this is exactly the opposite of what I've found. Step 1 for me, though, is fixing the firmware in Arduino 1.6.4 so it actually compiles and uploads to the RFBee, so I can get back to the mere problem of connecting it. If anyone can help me find something on that, it would be extremely helpful.
