Has anyone had issues with their shutter motor connecting? I can use the rocker to Open/close the shutter, but I cannot connect to it via ascom. In the putty terminal I see an endless repeat of XB->WaitAT, XB->Config,XB->Detect. I have power cycled it all a few times too. Seems like the wireless/bluetooth link is not establishing. @FRR returns 3.3.0 and @FRS returns nothing. I will send an email to Babak, but want to check here quick if I am missing something easy.

Further update: I connected to the shutter via USB and can run the @FRS to get 3.3.0 as a return. I also can issue the open shutter and close shutter command and those work fine. So for some reason the XBee on the rotator and shutter are not communicating. I looked at both XBee boards and the Rotator has an antenna and the Shutter does not. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Morning update: I checked that both the Xbee modules were seated properly for the Rotator and Shutter, they are. I also swapped the two and still the same, no connection being created. Does not seem like a lot of activity here on the forums, so I will wait to hear from Babak. But I will also order a new Xbee to swap out. I wonder if the issue is because the Xbee are from different series? 3 vs 1? I read online that might cause issues.
Back to wrap this thread up. I am now able to connect to the shutter via the XBEE. I got in contact with Tim Long who wrote the current code. After some checks, he had me upload a custom firmware hex that clears all the code out. Then I downloaded and uploaded the latest 3.3.0 hex firmware for the shutter from the github repo. At first nothing was happening. So I took a break and came back to see it was connected. It must of took 10-15min for the XBEE to connect. But it has been solid since.
