Hello,

I was wondering if anyone tried to build a remote control that uses an Xbee[1] instead of Radio Frequency to send movement commands to the Arducopter. Me and two friends are interested in building one, could some one point us in the right direction?

Thanks!

shouldn't be a problem
you have to read in the commands over serial (modify the code)
you still need an ground sided PC or Arduino (or another controller)
Hi I have tried, but for some unknown reason after running @115200 bps for some time, the zigbee module will hang and stop transmitting from APM , setting to 57600 bps have no issue. Hope this helps .
I am working on building the arducopter and have to be able to send wireless commands from my laptop to it (like fly to a GPS coordinate-->hover for 30 sec's-->land for 10secs-->fly home-->etc). Eventually I want to be able to send it on these "missions" from an android app. I have not had experience integrating wishields and found these instructions: http://aeroquad.com/showthread.php?82-Wireless-Communication&hi... but they are for aeroquad. Would they be the same for the arducopter? How would it be different? Any resources greatly appreciated.

you can do this with arducopter 2.x without any software changes

Hi Carlos,

Did you  find out any instructions to do it?
