Byte Escaping Hardcoded #71

Closed skyguy126 closed 5 years ago

skyguy126 commented 5 years ago

The XBee::send function is hard-coded to escape all bytes. Please add an option to disable this functionality as my current setup failed to work when bytes were escaped. I had to manually disable it in the XBee::sendByte function to achieve proper functionality.

void XBee::sendByte(uint8_t b, bool escape) {

    escape = false;

IIRC, if you disable byte escaping, then you cannot send some messages (since some bytes are special and then cannot be escaped). Byte escaping is enabled on the XBee side with AP=2, which is documented in the README as a required setting. You probably have AP=1 set instead, hence xbee-arduino is not expected to work.

I hope this solves your issue :-)
