"I'm having similar issues with my ESCs. I was able to calibrate them once, but now they just keep beeping to indicate a voltage error. What model ESC do you have? I posted my problem here."

I know I can put the Xbee shield on it but from what I have read you can only receive telemetry data as opposed to send commands (like go to a specified GPS coordinate). I haven't been able to find people who have documented how they have done this kinda thing. Can someone please help point me in the…See More
