Xbee bring-up follow on...

 It took a lot of discovery, but, here are my reminders to set up a new xbee board.
  • Get the right xbee. ("Series 1" for plain point-to-point connection)
  • Before trying to find the device (using XCTU.exe), be sure the baud rate matches; it must in order to connect. If you change the setting, you must delete the device from the list, and re-find and connect, with the new setting for baud rate. 
  • Set the PAN ID to 4
  • Disconnect the Rx and Tx from your mcu or pcb even if it's off; otherwise you won't be able to link it with the XCTU configuration program.
