XBee-PRO ZB (S2C) TH - InvalidOperatingModeException: Could not determine operating mode

[LorenzoBottaccioli]

Hi all,

I have conncted a Digi XBee-PRO ZB (S2C) TH to my desktop. If try to connect to the device with the following code I get the following error:

from digi.xbee.devices import ZigBeeDevice 
PORT = "/dev/ttyUSB0"  
BAUD_RATE = 9600 
device = ZigBeeDevice(PORT, BAUD_RATE)                                                                                                                                       
device.open()

InvalidOperatingModeException: Could not determine operating mode

If I open than XCTU and try to connect the device it works from both XCTU and Python.

Any suggestion to solve the issue?

Best,

Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

I got something simillar here. Have u have any updates??

[JeffLabonte]

I have a PR opened for a while that helps take care of this. #126

I would just change the mode the radio to API Escaped mode so I can use it.

I've been having the same problems with both API 1 and API 2. Any updates on this?
