Hey Beny,

I just ran into the same problem.

The zig100/zig2serial expect to receive power (5volts) on pin 9 through the serial port of the computer.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the usb2dynamixel adaptor. a second method is to wire a 5 volt power source to the zig2serial.

This requires that you modify the zig2serial. http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=1233&highlight=zig2serial Check that out and see if it helps.

Once you have the Zigbee up and running you shoul dnot it is not a drop in solution. You can talk to it using the following protocal.
