Hi all,
I'm building a couple of ArduPilot/Bixler based drones for a research project and would like to add telemetry to them. I believe I've managed to locate/order all the parts for the 900 Mhz DIY drones xBee telemetry kit, but I'm not sure what xBee modules to order. Are the ones below at Digikey the correct ones?
602-1167-ND

602-1169-ND

Thanks for your help,

Hi I am currently using two modules 602-1169-ND. with no problem, I prefer SMA carryon the plane as it gives me the possibility of removing the antenna or install a higher gain.
I got mine from Sparkfun but yes, those are correct and will talk with each other. Make sure you follow the "roll your own" telemetry and flash the right firmware. The directions will guide you through it step by step.
I used these, but they are the same part number.

These are equivalent digikey parts with different antennae (RP-SMA, Wire, U.FL)

Again, the part numbers matched up. You just don't want to mix the XSC versions as thier protocol is different and problematic.
