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 17:47 comment added Ikbel Is this the first time you tried to work with this xbee? Was it working before this time? Please tell me how do you connect it to your computer?

Dec 17, 2015 at 17:39 comment added Ikbel Did you try the opposite wiring? TX --TX and RX -- RX ?

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.
