AW: [Paparazzi-devel] Modem communication problems

It works fine, it looks like the modems communicate.(the funny thing warring
me is only that the "data in" led is not blinking on my modem) The problem
should be somewhere in GCS, maybe in airframe file. I am using microjet5.xml
to test the system. I proved the bauds for downlink it is 9600 and for GPS
it is 38400 (I have not configured GPS till now). The GPS and IRSs are
connected to the autopilot. Some Ideas what can be wrong with it?

After I execute Data link, server and GCS are running (no errors). The
problem I have I cannot see anything in GCS window, no map picture, no
control buttons. I cannot believe nobody had such problem. 

I am still looking for help.

Thank you.

Roman

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.
