Page 11: Usage
7. Usage When using an RFBee, the following pinouts of ATmage168 on RFBee apply for using the Arduino IDE. Pin 5 is the Grove connector for I/O - Yellow wire. Pin 6 is the Grove connector for I/O - White wire. Pin 16 may need to be driven low to provide enough power to the I/O Grove [via mosfet. - Page 12 Wifi Bee RFBee Nodes - WiFi Bee Grove - XBee Carrier The following image illustrated the connection of Any Groves can be connected to the Grove sockets provided. The programming of WiFi Bee's onboard AtMega328P is carried by connecting to PC through USB port.
- Page 13 Working with Bee Modules This section is about those Bee modules which do not have a MCU pre-programmed with Arduino bootloader. They mostly act just like a wireless trans-receiver. These Bee Modules like Bluetooth Bee, etc.. can communicated with PC as well. In this case, Grove - XBee Carrier acts as a carrier for these Bees providing necessary power, communication interface with PC through FT232RL USB to UART.
