Some more goodish news

Switching the RX and the TX and connecting it to the XBee has sort of worked. I no longer get errors from ZTerm and RX light is on. I also got the signal down to 3.3 volts by sending it to a 10K resistor then to the XBee from the to ground via two 10K resistors. I found this out here. The only problem is that the XBee is not responding and the terminal just parrots back what I have written.
