AI Thread Summary
The Xbee Pro 900 is configured with an Arduino to transmit data from an accelerometer wirelessly, but after about 20 seconds, the data stops displaying in the XCTU console. This issue does not occur with a temperature sensor, leading to speculation that the accelerometer may be overwhelming the console with data. The Xbee's "on" LED flickers after the data transmission halts, indicating a potential problem. Suggestions for troubleshooting include reviewing the circuit, identifying the sensor component, and examining the Arduino code. Further analysis is needed to pinpoint the source of the error.

So quick question: Basically I have my xbee pro 900 configured to an Arduino to read data from an accelerometer. The data will then get displayed in the xctu console on my computer transmitted wirelessly of course. Now I did this same procedure with a temp. sensor and the data was displayed perfectly. This time I'm getting data transmitted from the accelerometer, however after so many lines(or about 20 sec) it stops displaying data in the console. Now I'm not sure if its overloading the console with to much data or if there's another possible issue. The "on" led on the xbee begins to flicker on and off afterwards as well. I don't understand why this happens. Any suggestions on possible sources of error are greatly appreciated.

We would have to see your circuit, the identity of sensor component, and the arduino code to answer that.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
