I have been in the process of trying to use a set of 1W xTend modules for telemetry with the ardupilot. They have been configured to the correct baud rate settings and can communicate to each other through XCTU, but they receive nothing when connected to the ardupilot. Is anybody else using a set up similar to this or have any ideas of what might be going on? Are there any other settings (other than baud rate) which need to be configured differently?
(I have been connecting the tx pin on ardupilot to the DI pin on the xTend)
Thanks!

I have had successes with the Xtend Module using the logic converter from the Xbee pro interface PCB on my APM1.
as above reducing the Transmit power of the module is a must for initial bench test as i had issues with the APM directly powering the module.
