I just started out with my Ardu mega and the oil pan shield. Got the shield up and running, printing the gyro in the USB-serial interface. But no data over the Xbees.
I have the xbees up and running. No problem running the loopback test and I have put the baud rate on them at 38400.
And what I understand, once you have got the network up and running there should not be any differences from the first series. Is this correct?
Do you have to select a specific serial port to output data?

I am in the process of writing the code for it now. However, the first GCS protocol that I am writing is the binary protocol which will be supported with the new (laptop) Ground Station. It is not a human readable format. Once that is complete I will probably do a plain text version. Or maybe Jason will convert his to use the Xbee port - that would be a very simple change.
Good luck.
I am having the same problem as you are. Xbees are working properly but I cannot send/receive data from the APM. Have you made any progress?
