I have the same exact problem. The display stopped working and the air pump never shuts off, ever.
Avoid this product as its impossible to get it fixed.
I submitted a board almost exactly like this through batch pcb not too long ago, for this exact chip. Funny how sparkfun carries a board for the same thing now, lol.
Just when I thought I was supporting a great American company, you go and show us your labor camps in China. Thanks sparkfun, for bringing me down again.
So the 1 mile range does not mean it is full serial at 1 mile, it means that in perfect conditions eventually something will get through. I get about 400 feet at 9600 baud before I start dropping data outside, really dissapointing.
Here’s the serial command reference manual. I found this very useful, not all commands are supported, such as sound.

“This board is on a 0.05” grid" really means “Someone screwed up and it doesn’t fit on a breadboard.” I just got this board and it does not fit on a standard breadboard without soldering the pins on crooked.
Well, I went ahead and try it anyway, and it works. I put 0.1 headers on the bottom and connected it to a microcontroller, provided 3.3v and it seems to work just fine.
If I solder 0.1 headers to the bottom and plug it into a breadboard, can I use the board without USB to connect a microcontroller and an xbee, assuming I provide power. I just want both options for USB and for breadboarding the xbee without buying two different breakout boards and I’m hoping that is an option.

Does anyone know the antenna used for a 15 mile range, or is that a theoretical number?
