Connect Pixhawk, GCS and XBee - Telemetry

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to connect to my pixhawk on my tricopter wirelessly via my 2 XBee pro series 1 for my project. I configured both of them as shown on Pixhawk configuration pages. I want to receive real time data from my drone and(/or optional) also maybe send a few signals to modify inflight parameters.

I followed all the information that is out there on all the wiki pages but still I'm not able to get any data when I connect through XBee. The 2 XBees trancieve through X-CTU but when I connect the End node onboard to Pixhawk, I tried a lot of permutations & I am only able to connect (I guess) by QGroundControl/Mission Planner (as I dont receive any error when I select the XBee COM port in GCS) but it does not show any signs of connection on the flight data page.

Also, what parameters to change in the GCS. Should I connect through Telem1/Telem2 ? I tried interfacing with Arduino alone but that is fairly easy. Anyone out there done it with Pixhawk alone please leave a comment and your help is really appreciated.

All steps, any idea, guidance will do. Thanks guys

Cheers

Sid
