Arduino Bluetooth Bee Tutorial

In this tutorial, we will explore the use of the XBee Shield with an Arduino or Seeeduino board to enable wireless communication. The XBee Shield is a versatile device that allows you to connect your board to other devices wirelessly using Bee compatible modules such as Zigbee or BlueTooth Bee.

Firstly, let's start by connecting the XBee Shield to your Arduino or Seeeduino board. The shield is designed to be used with Xbee modules from MaxStream and provides options for connecting RxD and TxD lines of Bee Modules to Seeduino Hardware Serial Port or Digital pins 11 and 12 or FTDI RxD and Txd Pins.

Once the shield is connected, you need to set the toggle switches (TOG_1 and TOG_2) to the correct position. The switches provide options for connecting the RxD and TxD lines of Bee Modules to Seeduino Hardware Serial Port or Digital pins 11 and 12 or FTDI RxD and Txd Pins.

Here are some common configurations:

* Normally, the Bee modules are connected via Software Serial Port by setting the toggle switches (TOG_1 and TOG_2)positions to left-side.

* For Seeeduino boards, set the operating voltage switch to 3.3V position.

Once the configuration is complete, you can upload a sketch to your Arduino or Seeeduino board using the following code:

```c

MySerial.begin(9600);

```

The Bee modules are connected to Arduino / Seeeduino via the XBee Shield. The shield allows you to communicate with other devices wirelessly using Bee compatible modules.

Here are some common use cases:

* Connecting GPS Bee to Arduino / Seeeduino

* Communicating Seeeduino / Arduino to PC Wirelessly using Bee Modules

* Communicating two Seeeduinos / Arduinos Wirelessly using Bee Modules (Xbee, BluetoothBee, RFBee)

The XBee Shield can also be used as a Serial Port or USB replacement. It is designed to be used with Xbee module from MaxStream and provides options for connecting RxD and Txd pins of Bee modules to Seeduino pins.

In conclusion, the XBee Shield is a versatile device that allows you to enable wireless communication between your Arduino or Seeeduino board and other devices using Bee compatible modules. By following this tutorial, you can easily set up and use the shield to communicate wirelessly with other devices.
