Usage 

Using the Grove - Bee Socket, it is easy to control Bee Modules by Arduino/Seeeduino. Here take the RF Bee as an example, we'll tell you how to use it.
1. Plug XBee module onto the Bee Socket.
2. Then connect Grove - Bee Socket to UART Interface of Arduino/Seeeduino using a Grove cable. And connect your Arduino/Seeeduino to the computer via a USB cable to turn it on.
3. Now you can send some simple AT commands to do some basic configuration for the RF Bee and send/receive data. Of cource, you can update the firmware without changing the hardware connection.

Advantages 

It is Arduino compatible and more effective to conduct peer-to-peer operations and mesh network runned by wireless modules. Regulator CJT1117 guareteens Xbee of stable 3.3 voltages. LEDs can reflect working modes of the Grove modules clearly.
