SparkFun XBee Shield
SparkFun XBee Shield provides an easy way to add wireless capability to Arduino projects. The XBee shield form factor matches any development board with an Arduino standard footprint and provides wireless communication capabilities using the XBee module. The XBee shield works with all XBee modules that include the Series 1 and 2, standard and Pro versions.
The serial pins (DIN and DOUT) of the XBee are connected through a Double-Pole Double-Throw (DPDT) switch. This DPDT switch allows to select either UART pins (D0, D1) or any digital pins on the Arduino (D2 and D3 default). The DIN and DOUT pins of the XBee performs level shifting. Power taken from the 5V pin of the Arduino is regulated on-board to 3.3VDC before being supplied to the XBee.
The XBee shield features LEDs that indicate power and activity on DIN, DOUT, RSSI, and DIO5 pins of the XBee. This shield brings out Arduino's reset button and offers a 9 x 11 grid of 0.1" holes for prototyping.
