AW: [Paparazzi-devel] Modem communication problems

I proved the communication between the modems with help of the X-CTU
software. It is definitely working by now. The "data in" led is also fine.
So the problem is somewhere in GCS.

Roman, do you have access to two computers?
Try using something like picocom  or screen(on linux) or Hyperterminal (on
windows) to chat between the two.  For example, under linux:
Laptop 1:
        screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600
Laptop 2:
        screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600
Laptop 1:
        Type "Hello World"
        Nothing should appear on the screen of laptop 1
Laptop 2:
        The words "Hello World" should magically appear.
You can also do this using one laptop.  Open two terminal windows and change
one of the device names to /dev/ttyUSB1.
If that doesn't work, it ain't a paparazzi problem!
Good luck, and I think you might be overcomplicating things - XBees usually
just magically work out of the box @ 9600.

The baud is 9600 on both, the modem connected over USB is "coordinator" and
the modem connected to the ap board is "end device". Please, if somebody has
the same modem model as I have, let me know if the settings are right?

software.
