This board is an interface between an XBee module and an FT231XS USB UART.  Originally designed for the ESU-BRIDGE ProtoThrottle Receiver, this board can be used to add XBee functionality to any Raspberry Pi or PC with a USB port.  Note: this board comes with a USB Type A connector.  A standard micro USB cable can be used when connecting it to a Raspberry Pi, but a Type A to Type A cable is required when connecting the board to a standard USB port.

Features

• Supports any standard through-hole XBee Series 1 or XBee3 module
  
• Four general-purpose LEDs (3 blue, 1 red) driven by the XBee I/O lines
• On-board 3.3V regulator
