Hi, Note there are lots of these modules available with the same (or similar) hardware but different firmware. The ones in the link use 'linvor' firmware, which basically only can be used as a slave to a master. I could not get them to work stable with my pc (but am not sure if the module were the problem). So I bought an other pair of modules with different firmware (BC04) and these works great as a pair at 115k2.
