This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro version. Plug the unit into the XBee Explorer, attach a mini USB cable, and you will have direct access to the serial and programming pins on the XBee unit. \r\n\r\nThe highlight of this board is an FT231X USB-to-Serial converter. That\u2019s what translates data between your computer and the XBee. There\u2019s also a reset button, and a voltage regulator to supply the XBee with plenty of power. In addition, there are four LEDs that\u2019ll help if you ever need to debug your XBee: RX, TX, RSSI (signal-strength indicator), and power indicator.\r\n\r\nThis board also breaks out each of the XBee\u2019s I\/O pins to a pair of breadboard-compatible headers. So if you want to make use of the XBee\u2019s extended functionality, you can solder some header pins into those, or even just solder some wire.\r\n\r\nNot sure which XBee module or accessory is right for you?

Check the _Recommended Products_ section below for different options.\r\n\r\n**Note:** This board cannot source the power required for the Cellular XBee line.
