A 3.3 volt regulator and 74LVC244A buffer on board provide safe interfacing to a 5 volt supply and easy compatibility with any Parallax microcontroller. The 2 x 5 dual SIP header makes a sturdy connection to your breadboard or through-hole board, and brings the basic connections to your prototyping area. The more advanced XBee features are still accessible, through an additional header and plated through-holes on the board. Two very simple example applications that are compatible with all BASIC Stamp 2 models are included in this document. Features y Onboard 3.3 V regulator y 5 V to 3.3 V logic translator buffers common I/O pins y Six status indicator LEDs for Power, Tx, Rx, RSSI, Associate and mode (Sleep/ON) y Small footprint dual SIP header provides support and allows easy interfacing to DOUT (TX), DIN (RX), RTS, 5 V supply and ground y 5-pin female header connections provides interfacing to other XBee pins such as sleep, reset and associate y A row of 10 plated through-holes with 01 spacing allows the option of soldering jumper wires or a header (not included) for access to the remaining XBee pins in advanced applications y An additional plated through-hole gives access to 3.3 V output for ADC reference (VREF) when required y Adapter board is pre-assembledno soldering is required for using most common XBee features y Compatible with all Parallax microcontrollers, including the 5 V BASIC Stamp modules and 3.3 V Propeller P8X32A Key Specifications y Power Requirements5 VDC y Communication: Serial pass-through to XBee module y Operating temperature: -40 to + 158 F (-40 to +70 C) y Dimensions: 1 x 2.4 x 0.36 in (25.4 x 61 x 9.14 mm) Copyright Parallax Inc.
