HELP. Setting up Xbee's to get telemetry data on the ground

Posted by Chase Hall on May 14, 2012 at 8:09am

Hi all,

I have the Arducopter 2.0 Quad and are currently trying to get the Xbees to talk to the Ardupilot Mega Mission planner.

I have run the test code and can get the Xbees to send "Port 0" over the link.

However, I have hit a wall and do not know how to get the Mission Planner set up or even to load. I am stuck, and would just like to reset everything before I mess up anymore code.

    Can you explain the problem a little better?  What are you doing in MP to connect the Xbee, and what is not working?

    Two quick tips:

    1. You have to determine which COM port your Xbee is operating on with your particular computer, and you must use the pick-box at the top-right corner of MP to select that port.

    2. You must set the Baud rate for the communications at 57,000.  Then try connecting, and if it doesn't work, I'd say your problem is outside of MP.
