I have run a script while the APM is connected via USB, and the quadcopter responds every time.
But when I run the script over my Xbee Series 1 connection, the console shows that a lot of packets are being lost and sometimes the copter responds, sometimes it doesn't. Has anybody out there faced a similar issue, and if so how did you go about solving it?

Hey edmar,
Can you help me with one thing? Are you using Linux/windows/Mac OS?? and were you trying out HILS? was it working??
The problem here is latency and baud rates. Xbee runs slower and is not truely full duplex. In order to speed up, you need 2 xbee pairs, one connected only for uplink and the other for downlink. This was discussed extensively in the joystick control rather than using RC threads. See here how to use 2 xbees or other radios. http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/flying-with-joystick?commen...
