What you describe sounds a bit like a drained battery... :-) Jon, I attached my 9V to the Arduino, not the Xbee.

Just wondering when you attached your 9v battery, did you attach it to the arduino Vin and Gnd pins or did you connect it to the Xbee directly? I ask because when I try to power my reciever Xbee using a 9v battery using the Vin/Gnd pins the associate LED on the Xbee lights up at first then slowly goes off after a couple of seconds and then I can't seem to communicate with my other coordinator xbee. Any ideas? Many Thanks, Jon Hey Jan, great tutorial.
