I've written a howto on my site for how to get effective configuration with these modules.

Hope it helps someone. -
You're right, but why is is left off on the pro and the pro mini boards? I could've used it on the pro board I'm using now, I guess I'll have to solder it on myself.

Why not connect the ACD6 and ADC7 pins? I understand space is a premium on the pro mini board, but why leave them off here? I'm going to try soldering on my own.

Too bad one of the xbee digital pins isn't connected to the 328's interrupt pins (2 or 3) for waking from low-power sleep. I suppose you could just send a reset instead, provided whatever data you're gathering isn't in ram anymore.
Is the 238V special in having 8 analog inputs? I thought the series all had 6. -
Cool board, however the surface mounted components are very fragile. The first day the switch broke off, although it was simple to re-solder that. Just tonight the serial headers broke off, and I'm at a loss. They can not be soldered back, so I suppose I've got to wire up an entirely new serial port in order to program it again.
Stick with the pro mini if you can. I had to use this simply because I needed the AREF port which was omitted on the mini.
On a side note: this 5V board boots and programs fine with the 3.3V FTDI/USB connector.
