The DFRobot Bees xBee Communication Shield solves project communication issues (e.g., wireless setup when a serial port is occupied). Compatible with Arduino boards (UNO R3, Leonardo, etc.), it has a large prototyping area for extra components. Its uniform interface supports xBee-compatible devices (xBee, WiFi xBee, Bluetooth Bee, zigBee, etc.). Stackable for flexibility, this practical (older) shield boosts project versatility.
