May I know how do we interface the Xbee Explorer Regulated on the Ardupilot Shield with the Xbee Explorer Dongle on my PC? And can we connect the FTDI Cable directly to the Xbee Explorer Regulated?
Thanks for the help.
on one xbee i must change the firmware..
for people wich use the same xbee´s and have problems, read this paparazzi info:
Setup
For the ZigBee ZNet 2.5 and ZB modules to work one of the modules has to be flashed with the coordinator firmware. All the others in the same PAN can either run as routers or end-devices.
* Flash one module (ground station) with the coordinator AT firmware
* Flash aircraft module with router or end-device AT firmware
To allow modules to join any PAN set the PAN ID to zero (default setting). Then the coordinator will generate a random PAN ID and routers and end-devices will join the first PAN they find.
If you operate in an environment with multiple zigbee PANs it is recommended to set the PAN ID explicitly:
* Set PAN ID to some unique (but same) ID on both modules
* Set a Node Identifier for each module (e.g. ground, aircraft)
