The Seeed Studio Arduino XBee shield is derived from original Arduino XBee shield, with following additional features:

  • Smaller form factor
  • Surface mount (SMT) packaged components
  • A better price!

The XBee shield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using Zigbee. It is based on the Xbee module from MaxStream. The module can communicate up to 100 feet indoors or 300 feet outdoors (with line-of-sight). It can be used as a serial/usb replacement or you can put it into a command mode and configure it for a variety of broadcast and mesh networking options. The shields breaks out each of the Xbee's pins to a through-hole solder pad. It also provides female pin headers for use of digital pins 2 to 7 and the analog inputs, which are covered by the shield (digital pins 8 to 13 are not obstructed by the shield, so you can use the headers on the board itself).

Features added in v1.1

  • 31mm x 41mm board outline
  • Various communication options
    • via hardware serial (mode 4)
    • via pins 11 and 12 with software serial (mode 1/3)
    • with X-CTU via USB (mode 2)
  • All pins broken out for easy access
