Introduction
Heads up! Originally, this tutorial was written to configure an XBee Series 1 to communicate in
transparency mode. However, this can apply to the XBee Series 3 module as long as you configure
the firmware to the legacy 802.15.4 protocol. For more information, check out the Exploring XBees
and XCTU tutorial.
The XBee Shield gives your Arduino a seamless interface to XBee -- one of the most popular
wireless platforms around. With XBee, instead of being tied down by a serial cable -- inches away
from a paired device -- your Arduino can pass data over the air to another device hundreds of feet
away.
