Hi New APM 2, New 900mhz Xbee kit and some issues.
This has never worked yet so I need some advice please.
The APM2 (as far as I know), everything works and it communicates with the mission planner with a USB cable, gps, elevel all data seems good..
When I connect the Xbee to the laptop the power on led is on and the Tx flashes 1 / second.
When I connect the xbee to the APM2 All of the leds are on (power , RSSI , di,do. ) nothing flashes
If I remove the xbees from the adapters and reverse them I get the same results. I think the Xbees are OK, they are not bricked as I can check them with the CTU program and the ID numbers and baud rates are all correct. both modules report nothing recieved in CTU test mode. It appears they transmit but nothing comes back. I suspect the airplane adapter or its link to the APM2 but which one.?
Help please.
2nd question, Where can I find a pinout for the USB to 6 pin header on the xbee adapter so I can test the adapter?
Thank you

HI Vernon
in my case this is a new setup and new xbees and adapters, if the adapter does not work then I will discuss this with the supplier for replacement before I start making mods like this. , If they normally work then why would we have to modify a new board.?
looks like another week with no data . just when I was getting somewhere.
