Interfacing an Esplora to an Xbee

Alright, so i used Digital pin 0 and digital pin 1, pins 7 and 8 respectively, rx tx respectively, i am using a usb explorer for the xbee and am running the tx(pin 8) to the DIn pin on the explorer, and RX(oin7 ) to Dout on the explorer.i am powering through the 5v pin on the exploer since it has a built in regulator.
