Hi Mark,
Well I wasn't 100% sure if i'm honest with you which is why I was asking my original question, however I did assume that you could just plug the xbee into a breadboard and then use jumper to connect it to the Arduino?
As for the wireless sd shield do you mean this? http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/wireless-shield-p-861.html
If so then I assume this does not replace the xbee bu that the xbee fits onto this? Would this be instead of the xbee explorer regulated? And do I need to by a SD card for this then?
Thanks again!
