XBee not working with APM 2

Any help would be appreciated please!

We have been using an APM 1 with XBee telemetry and just received our new APM 2's.

Naturally we transferred the xbees to that board as per the photo's, but it won't connect, no matter what we do.

Is there a hardware issue with the APM 2 and the sparkfun xbee board?

We have two APM 2's and two sets of xbees and neither will work, they work quite happily when we plug them back in to the APM 1.

  • I'm having the same issue. I'm using an xbee set that works perfectly in other apps and seem to be communicating. However, when connected to APM2 mavlink will not connect. I have the correct USB port selected, I have the baud rate set to 1152000. I'm not a xbee expert (don't want to be) could someone help me with a trouble shooting protocol to determine where my problem lies?

    Thanks in advance!

  • After changing out the sparkfun board for the xtreambee board all works well. 

    So definite proof that the sparkfun xbee board does not like the APM 2 or vice versa!
