RE: [Paparazzi-devel] I get a blank GCS when executing airframe **SOLVED**

[Edixon Giraldo]

I have solved the problem.  It was indeed the Sparkfun regulated board where the aircraft unit was hooked up to.  I changed it to the Adafruit board and the Xbee came to life.  Now, I have communication and the GCS opens up.
 
Thanks.
 
Eddie.
