Can i also use teensy 3.2 instead of 3.1 for the xbee Adapter?

The Teensy 3.6 does not fit in this adapter, does it? If not, how could I connect a Xbee with a Teensy 3.6?

I am not an electrical enginner, so I am sorry if this is a dumb question. If I use a 3.3V external power source, teensy’s voltage regulator would cause some voltage dropout right? The pinout diagram says 3.7-5.5V for Teensy’s VIN. Would that not affect the Teensy at all? For example, would I get full 3.3V out of digital outputs?

Few ideas for improvement. Teensy 3.1 has 3 HARDWARE serial ports, why would anyone choose to use a software serial? The selection should be between hardware serial ports. Teensy internal voltage regulator can not handle any “pro” line of the xbees. You huys need to include a new voltage regulator. Break out the botton pins on teensy.

If you are planning to use the Teensy->Fio board just remember that you’ll need to cut the trace between VIN and VUSB at the bottom of the Teensy. If not, the 5V from the USB could get to the battery and you could damage the battery.

Please please please make a version of this with integrated battery management! This would be the “Teensy Fio” I’ve been looking for. The poor 8MHz ATmega on the Fio just can’t keep up with what I’m trying to do.

Very happy to see mxgxw’s design. Will have to order one and brush up on my SMT soldering…

I designed something pretty similar last year, you can look at the PCB over OSHPark.org, in my case I tried to keep the footprint and the pinout from the FIO so it could be used as a drop-in replacement for the FIO v3.3, it also includes a LiPO charger.

I don’t have a way to mass-produce it but is OpenHardware so I can provide the schematics and PCB layout if you wish to carry it out :)

This is a picture how it looks like used in conjunction with a pretty BIG XB900HP with a SMA connector. (Taking it to the extreme)

That thing is huge, I made my custom XBee for Teensy board already more than a year ago, the XBee header can fit over the teensy so very modular. I like the pjrc.com version also better than this large board.
