3DR / Arduino / XBee

Hello all,

Couple questions about the 3DR.

I have a arduino mega, will the "air" module be able to integrate with it? Meaning i dont have a APM board, i just want to supress my USB cable to communicate with the arduino, will the 3DR do the job?  And if so is there any special instructions? 

Im thinking i can use Serial1 TX/RX ports on the arduino mega board and then i should be able to connect from the ground module to the arduino wirelessly.

Correct me if im wrong.

Thanks in advance

G'Day Mr Santos,

Your plan sounds like it should work just fine. -- The radios are transparent, so they will simply pass through anything that you send in one end, out the other end.

Cheers,

Seppo

I have Xbee telemetry any can do every thing that the USB can do.

You do need the USB cable for firmware upgrades to a new version of firmware. That makes sense because you are also updating the telemetry firmware.
