Re: [Paparazzi-devel] No serial communication between PC & XBee?

[Alston Pike]

It will most likely be some time next week before I get a chance to get on IRC.  We're hosting an ASME conference here in Tuscaloosa this weekend and I'll be busy with that.

 

That said, I'll be presenting what work I have completed with my plane and the amazingness of Paparazzi.
