HI , I receive this error when I run the script.
Hi Gerard. You need to download and install the processing.serial library. The missing function is in that library
Hi Matt, I found the problem, the Xbee module was defective and transmitting intermittent, as soon as I install a new one it work great
I have success link with the 3DR kit from Hobby King , only thing I have to do is to set the radio at 9600 baud
Hi Gerard, reviving my old thread to ask a question about the 3DR - what logic level does its serial port use? Would it connect directly to an SL100 (which uses 3.3v CMOS logic), or is a level shifting circuit required?
Great, thanks.
the 3DR as a voltage regulator to down the 5V to 3.3
OK, good. I'm having a hard time finding complete electrical specs on the HobbyKing version quoted earlier. If anyone knows the location online of better doc than the product description or the doc on the 3DRobotics site, much appreciated.
this site helped me with a lot of the questions I had about the 3dr system:
https://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-using-the-3dr-radio-for-telemetry-with-apm-and-px4/
the radio's datasheet is also very helpful:

Thanks Derek. I had seen the first link, but was not aware of who manufactured the radio and so had never found my way to the datasheet - that is exactly what I was looking for.
Really cool project, Matt!
Thanks for sharing your code! I was able to mod it for use in my rocket project!
all the bestHello Matt
Thanks for nice words in reply for my post.
I just want to say that when You will find out my old massage on facebook (where I had found You), please know that that was older version with some soft problems I had. Now link posted on forum is the latest and working.
I will look then into other threads on Your forum maybe I will find knowledge how to do telemetry useful in rocketry.
BTW>We are going to do this year 2-3km (6500-10000 ft), or even more, on hybrid engine. This is main reason for trying to see what's going on, live, if one cannot watch the rocket by eyes.
Hello again
Thanks for the link so You suggestion is to go toward ampified antenna. I will look arround here while according to our law I must go for 433MHz. But I have to do something while my 3DR-like tranceivers 433, with factory antennas, 100mW (20dBi), have just 250mtr range - poor for our hobby.
