Question – Will the ArdupilotMega MAVLink work with the XBEE Pro 900 XSC? Everything works until I to try to connect to the telecom (XBEE) system, and then I get the following message:
“Is your CLI switch in Flight position?
(this is required for MAVLink comms)
Getting Params…(sysid1)
System.Exception:Time out on read – getParamList
at ArdupilotMega.MAVLink.Open(Boolean getparams)
at ArdupilotMega.MainV2.MenuConnect_Click(Object sender, EvenArgs e)”
I went to the Sparkfun Web site and noticed there is a difference between the Xbee Pro 900 XSC (9.6 kpbs Max data rate) and the XBee Pro 900 (156 Kbps RF Baud rate). My guess is that I bought the wrong Xbee unit. If not, what do you think the issue is? If so, is there some way to make the XSC work?

I have the same units and the data rate limit is 9600. This is too low for the arduPliot and the serial data piles up and it crashes the link. Im working on lowering the output of the AP so I can use these xbees.
Let us know if you had any luck.
