Datalink problems

 

Hello my friends,

I buy two sets of ardupilotmega and  telemetry kits in order to use in my model planes.
But unfortunately I was unable to get a succesful data link with my Xbee-XSC’s or Xbee-DP’s. I have a XtreamBee V1.2 adapter on plane side and Sparkfun’s XBee Explorer USB on laptop side. Even if I set the baud to 9600 on APM_config.h I barely can connect to the Ardupilotmega board with telemetry link. As I focused on the subject, I see that I am able to connect and get the data only twice with a success right after a firmware re-loading.(even with DP’s with 57600 baud) If I power-off and on more than two times it is not possible to get any data. When I dig deeper on it I see that, after I reset the EEProm I also get the data only twice with a success.The worse thing is after the second power off, if I try to conect over the telemetry link, I see that the EEProm changes.(I checked it on CLI mode over usb) So if I reset the EEProm the link comes back… But now it also not possible.Now it says (EEPROM format version -1 not compatible with this version (requires 11)).I downgrade to my first firmware which is 2.211 and try to reset with Mission planner 1.0.65 but no luck… if I reload any firmware it gives met he data twice or may be if I am lucky 3 or 4 times…
Do you have any idea ?

  • By the way, I forgot to mention that I am using now APM Mission Planner 1.0.72 and ArduPlane2.24
