| Dec 17, 2015 at 18:07 | comment | added | Pedro Nadolny | Just found this on Digi website. "The XBee is a 3.3V only device, connecting 5V to any pin may damage the radio. If you had connected the XBee to a 5V microcontroller or power source, it's possible that the radio is damaged beyond repair". On this link, the last topic, knowledge.digi.com/articles/Knowledge_Base_Article/…. I really think that the XBee is gone. :/ | |
| Dec 17, 2015 at 18:04 | comment | added | Pedro Nadolny | I just started working with XBee this week. Yes, I could do some thing before it "bricked". I've connected it to my computer with an XBee Explorer from Parallax. hobbytronics.co.uk/wireless/zigbee/xbee-usb-adapter | |

| Dec 17, 2015 at 17:17 | comment | added | Pedro Nadolny | The thing is, I can't even communicate with the XBee with a XBee Explorer to my computer, since I did that. Its problaby bricked or damage. What I wanna know if it can get damaged from the RXTX pins. | |
| Dec 17, 2015 at 16:56 | comment | added | Ikbel | Try to add a voltage divider on Arduino's TX to shift it to 3.3v logic. This might solve your problem. | |
