WIFI setting and network problems #5

Hi all,

You guys' work is very amazing. I am also attempting to build a device just like that in the tutorial.
I use Xbee S6B wifi module and have encountered the network connection problem, as a result, I cant see the unfixed Skeleton. I set up all the 18 imu motioners and 1 controller just like the demo shown. And all the settings are correct as shown in the tutorial. I am wondering the reasons for the connection error, whether setting up the wrong communication protocol or the software/code problem.
I also tried to connect XBee to PC through gateway. However, the data received from wifi S6b was just something like FF 00 E8 FF which was obviously wrong.

Based on my understanding, I would like to ask you guys some questions.

  1. From the tutorial, the IP address for PC or motioner application is 192.168.2.1; controller IP address is 192.168.2.103; the wifi S6 module IP address is 192.168.2.7 and the destination IP address is 192.168.2.1; the motioner application target IP address is 192.168.2.103.
    My puzzle is about the connection between wifi S6 / S6B and PC application. From the user manual, one’s MY is set to be the DL of another and another’s MY is referred to one’s DL. My question is the target IP setting of the motioner application, the target IP address is referred to the controller IP address instead of the wifi S6 module IP. Is the data sent out by wifi S6/S6B module with controller IP address as the destination address for motioner application?
  2. In the application gui xml file, Device Incoming UDP Port means UDP protocol used while the wifi S6 configuration, IP setting is TCP protocol. My question is whether these two protocols are compatible to be used together?
  3. In XBee WiFi_setting file, ID SSID name is set as "f" while the network created in the tutorial, the SSID name is named as "MotionerNet". Are these two SSID names supposed to be the same? If not, how will XBee identify the network?

If anything wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me.
Please help me clear my doubts. Thank you guys in advance.
