hello, i had promble with communication by using xbee. i know that xbee operate with 3.3V but 89s52 is 5v

1. my project like this :

uc+xbee (send data to) xbee+pc

2. can i using this circuit http://www.8051projects.info/upload/Image/Interface_ckt.BMP

tq

You can use that schematic if your module is support 5v inputs. if not then you have to lower down the voltage level. You can make use of a simple transistor logic.

for input to microcontroller you actually dont need to do anything. microcontroller that are 5V tolerant can accept 3V input levels.

so.. do check your module's datasheet...

[Topic moved to 8051 Discussion forum]

i see the module`s datasheet, the tx current : 45mA @ 3.3V and rx current : 50mA @ 3.3V

it show that i cannot directly connect to pin tx/rx uC and must have a voltage divide to reduce the voltage from 5V to 3.3V ? right? if i wrong plz corret it.

thanks

yes u can use voltage divider or MC14050 it is 3.3 volt operated not gate
insert it in controller and xbee module

thanks majoka for ur reply

are this circuit like this?

http://www.kronosrobotics.com/Projects/MaxStreamInterface3.pdf

yes almost in pdf circuit is doing same thing resistor will limit hr current
i was talking like this that is on this page
http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t40433-last.html

hmm, how about the data? did will be effect at the data tx/rx?

yes may be it effected but module can effect that point is more important

hmm, that any solution to make sure the data and module in the good condition when it interface with 89s52?

see this level converter

check the latest post i made on this:
http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t44802-post.html

oh, i see
thanks a lot for ur information.
i have one question about interfacing xbee with pc

must connect with max232?

yes it is must when connecting to pc it is a line driver or level converter ic

xbee is 3.3v better use max3232

oh, i see. thanks a lot

ok, i just see one circuit xbee interfacing with the pc

the circuit like this http://amtek.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/xbee.jpg

can i used the circuit?

this is not a valid not gate is not use for this purpose and its not a pretty solution use max3232 for connecting it directly to pc

hello,
i already have xbee
and i just build a circuit to interfacing with PC by using max232
but the result is bad, unable comm. with modem

so, how do I determine whether xbee is in good condition or damaged?
did anyone know?

tq

check datsheet if they have provided any test modes for checking.

you have used Max232? again? i told u Max3232

ya u already told it,
but my place not have max3232

so i decide to buy a new xbee usb adapter

tq for u reply ajay

Can you post the circuit you used.

Consider an adapter like this one.
http://www.ladyada.net/make/xbee/


This website sells XBee variants and modules.
http://www.digi.com/products/wireless-wired-embedded-solutions/zigbee-rf-modules/point-multipoint-rfmodules/xbee-series1-module.jsp#docs

It has instructions for its test software.
"Users Guide: XCTU Configuration & Test Utility Software"
I have no idea if it would work on your Xbee, but it shows that some parts of an Xbee are testable.

i already succesful parameters the both xbee
now, i want to interfacing to uC
i used this circuit to interfacing xbee and uC http://www.kronosrobotics.com/Projects/MaxStreamInterface3.pdf

i already load this program at my at89s52

now what the next step ? anyone can help me?
thanks

So are you saying you are able to use the Xbee with a PC ?
you are happy with that ?

You now want to connect the Xbee to an at89s52 ?
Have you had any success ?

ExperimenterUK
yes i am
happy
thanks

yes , now i want connect xbee to an at89s52
but still not succesful.
dont know what the next step
i used x-ctu terminal to monitar the program. but still not appear the data.

Have you read this page, it seems to give a lot of info about setting up.

http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/tutorials/how-to-diy-128/xbee-basics-3259/

For the at89s52 program try a very simple test program.

Send "A", no need to check serial port ready bits etc,
just set the baud rate and load 0x41 into sbuf.

Wait a quarter of a second.
loop back and send "A", again.
Use a logic probe or led to look for a pulse as the char is sent.

Also look for any sign that it arrived.
Let us know what happens.

thanks for ur help exUK

i`m can control the uC only ( PC to uC)
but i still problem , when (uC to PC) the data not appear.
when i check the voltage at dout(pin 3 xbee) it below 1v.

@ posto
ru want to send data to pc
xbee is 3.3 volt device i think and controller is 5volt
is both voltage level is same

@majoka
in dout (xbee) i put voltage divide to reduce the voltage but
input voltage from uC (tx) not enough of 5v.

whether it can interfere with data transmission?

thanks

dout of xbee can be given directly to uC, you need not to put any voltage divider there.

thanks a lot guy
that help me to finish my final project.
many things i learn in this forum
tq
