This shield connects any XBee directly to an Arduino. The shield comes with the headers pre-installed.

Features:

• Mounts directly onto your Arduino
• Switch between connecting pin D0 and D1 (RX/TX) to the USB (for programming) or directly to the XBee. 
• 3.3V power regulation and MOSFET level shifting on-board
• Reset button brought out to shield

Quick Start:

1. Connect the Xbee to the shield and the shield to the Arduino.
2. Set the switch to USB.
3. Upload your sketch to the Arduino. Use hardware Serial to send commands.
4. Unplug the Arduino.
5. Switch to XBee mode.
6. Apply power.
7. Anything sent via Serial.println() will go directly to the XBee.
