"sry it is very misleading (the xbee -> apm -> MP part) i meant to say xbee to apm (charge by battery) apm to MP (connect by telemetry , xbee charge by usb) when you connect them they should behave the same way they do when you test them in…"

"assuming you have your xbees programed correctly that you can loop back what you type to yourself using the loopback test in X-CTU what i referred to as the loopback wire is the wire that i connect my input to my output on the xbee. i later found…"

"How to switch Xbee sparkfun xbp24 board from slave to master? Theres no switch for us to do that. And which is the loopback wire on the APM2 side? I am having the same problem as you right know even after configuring the 2 Xbees. "

Hello Andrew, I would be happy to help any way I can, although I am new at this myself. Not sure what you meant by "which pin to use on my code". The I2C I was referring to is the external GPS receptacle on the front of APM2, already programmed in ArduPlane, et al.
