Hi, everyone!
I plan to buy an Arduino Dueminalove and an Arduino Xbee Shield. My question is, when the xbee shield is put on top of the arduino board will the analog and digital pins as well as the 5V pin being exposed for usage? My aim is to connect a temperature sensor LM35 to the 5V pin, GND pin and analog pin_0 of arduino dueminalove so that the temperature data can be sent to my PC wirelessly.
If this doesn't work, any suggestion? For instance using other type of xbee shield? How to connect it?
Yes of course you can.
The xbee shield exposes.
Analog pins 0 to 5.
The Vcc and GND but you need to do as I did for my top shield.
Digital pins 0 to 7.
See my post about the wireless xbee.
Is very easy to put it on top, you can also connect the temperature sensor directly to the xbee ADC0 by soldering an additional header pin on the xbee 11 to 20 side.
This make the arduino useless but depends on your application.
If you know more help just let me know,
Thank God that xbee shield provides such a convenient part for me to work on so that I won't worry about how to connect xbee to arduino via wiring externally. As I'm just a beginner so Arduino definitely provides a very good interface for me to do programming, it's very user friendly. I just plan to connect the sensor by wiring it in breadboard.
