I think I've been having similar problems combined with power supply
issues... :-(
First I fried one XBee unit by plugging it into the FTDI cable
which I
though was 3.3 volt because of the details of the item when
connected to USB
port. (came up as ...FTDI... 3.3v)
Next I've made a power supply from the 5 volts using an LM317 power
regulator but I think under load the power supply is unstable so
will try
again with a low drop out regulator.
I think this has resulted in partial flashing of another XBee that
I bought
as a replacement. I hope there's a power up sequence that can be
used to
re-flash it. Must read the docs more thoroughly first...
I'd love a copy of your config docs is you wouldn't mind.
Thanks,
Bernie.

If you need anything, I've got a fairly detailed paper that I
wrote to
detail the installation and (some of) the configuration of the
autopilot system which I can post online.

Hi Alston,
I'm experiencing similar issues to what you have described earlier.
Are you able to remember any details of what caused the problem
and the
solution or what I've missed and post them here?
Thanks,
Bernie.

That said, I'll be presenting what work I have completed with my

Alston,
If you have time, I can troubleshoot this with you on the IRC.

FTDI cable works fine. I have the Flight USB setting for transparent
operation using the PPRZ protocol.
Interesting note... when I use the Flight - Maxstream @ 57600
option,
I get some activity on the transmit & receive lights on the adapter
board but when I use the transparent options, I get nothing.

Hi there
Have you try to use FTDI cable instead of mdoem to check if the
GCS has some reaction?
2nd thing, you use the Xbee or PPRZ for the modem? because if you
use PPRZ (which should work with you Xbee, but just no multiple
aircraft operation), then you need to use option"flight by usb
9600", and in this option, you need to change the rate to 57600
(same as your modem).
I hope this will hleps.
good luck

引述 Alston Pike <address@hidden
<mailto:address@hidden>>:
So, in the process of configuring my modems, I came to realize
that the
modem in the plane was bad and that it was part of my problems
I've been
having getting the GCS to populate. I've got a new one now,
and I'm able to
work with that modem in X-CTU.
Now that I've got the plane reassembled with the new modem in
place, I try
launching a new flight. The activity lights on the FTDI
adapter never come
on. The power LED is on, and I checked dmesg and *something* is
on
ttyUSB0. My GCS still will not populate.
Here's everything I know:

I can send my airframe config file later if it would help.
