Re: [Paparazzi-devel] I get a blank GCS when executing airframe

[Edixon Giraldo]

Ok, I figured out the problem. It was the FTDI board. The wires for the Tx 
signal and the Rx signal were switched. Once I I switched them around the GCS 
worked. However, I still cannot get the xbee's to communicate with each other. 

Thanks.
