Quick updates; In case anyone else is interested
Some updates were added to MRAA today to make sure that the devices are properly setup. I am getting some results with my commander test program, but it is very sluggish, acting like it is not properly getting all of the inputs. My guess is that this is not an MRAA issue, but maybe how my code is interacting with the underlying serial driver.
My Arduino version of it appears to run fine using the XBee shield, but not having much luck yet with linux version. I am finding some differences on how I have interacted with other linux boxes. Example I turned off buffering as I did not want to wait until buffer full to get data...
Wanted to also check out if it would work with an FTDI based USB to serial XBee adapter, so I plugged one in. Did not work until I installed driver from AlexT's repo. When I redirected my test program to use the usb device it is working great. So I need to figure out what the differences are. May look over how the Arduino code is talking to the serial driver.
