update the code examples to stress the importance of parameter 'escape=...' #39
Description
First of all thanks a lot for this very nice piece of code!
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set up your Xbees in API mode, with the API mode = 2 (AP = 2, means it
escapes some special bits)
2. run the exemple code that is on http://code.google.com/p/python-xbee/
3. does not work (no frame response displayed , even if you can see in any
terminal that your Xbee is fine ...)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
My point is simply that is is easy for a dummy newbie (like me!) to spend hours
in trying debugging, while it is a simple parameters issue. I know it is in the
documentation (thanks for this too ;-)) but it is so important that it should
be added, I think, as a comment in the exemple code (e.g. #use Zigbee instead
of Xbee if you are using Series 2 AND add "escape = True" to parameters if
their AP parameter is set to 2.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.1 on a Mac (Python 2.7) but it does not matter.
Please provide any additional information below.
Thank you again and Best Regards
