Hi all,
I'm relatively new to Arduino, so forgive me if I'm asking a 'noob' question ;)
My target is to make a drone that is remotely controlled by an (Android) smartphone. I have an APM 2.6, to which I connect an RN-XV Wifly (RN171XV) using this Xbee board. I configured the Wifly correctly; it figures as a (wifi) hotspot on which I can login with a smartphone or a PC, and it accepts signals through a certain port.
The problem, however, is in the communication of the Arduino with the Wifly; I can't seem to get the command wifly.begin() to respond. Right now I connected the Wifly to the telemetry port using these schematics. I attached a photo of the configuration and the sketch that I'm using as attachments.
Any help on getting a signal from the Wifly to the Arduino would be greatly appreciated! I'd rather not use Mission planner or any other piece of software, I like to have full control over everything :)
Kind regards,
Jacco
Edit: Wifly works on 3.3V and the APM only delivers 5V, so I cannot connect it directly.

I can fly my Iris+ with a RealFlight controller connected through my Mission Planner GCS. I have control over everything. I had been experimenting with using an android tablet and the same controller using Tower or similar GCS on Android, but didn't get very far when the tablet's wifi died.
That having been said, you might want to look in the older forums under Arducopter or Arduplane..
