Hi Himanshu,

There must be some configurations you have to do with that software. Which is that software shown in the image actually?

Hi Himanshu,

Most of the time there requires a 3.3V to 5V logic level circuit between the Xbee output and MAX232 input. It can be easily made with a single diode and resistor.
