Seeed Studio Grove - Bee Socket 130mm x 90mm x 11mm

SKU CH-JX0P-H958T

Adapter connects XBee wireless modules to Arduino via Grove interface with onboard 3.3V regulator and level shifting

  • Product typeSensors
  • Standard Grove interface simplifies XBee module connections
  • Onboard CJT1117 regulator delivers stable 3.3V power
  • SN74LVC1G125 level shifting protects modules from 5V signals
  • Reset button enables quick XBee module restarts
  • Status LEDs show power, association and sleep modes

Adapter for XBee Modules

The Grove Bee Socket connects XBee series wireless modules to Arduino boards using a Grove interface. It provides a regulated 3.3 V supply via an onboard CJT1117 regulator and includes level shifting to protect 3.3 V modules from 5 V signals. The board exposes every XBee pin through breakout connections.

Suitable for Prototyping Wireless Links

Makers building peer to peer or mesh networks with WiFi Bee, RF Bee or Bluetooth Bee modules can plug them directly into this adapter. It is not suited for designs that require a shield form factor that mounts directly onto an Arduino header stack. Projects needing power from an integrated battery should look elsewhere as no battery is included.

Dual Bee Sockets and 3.3 V Regulator

The board fits two Bee modules simultaneously and uses the CJT1117 regulator to deliver a stable 3.3 V rail. Level shifting is handled by SN74LVC1G125 ICs on the signal lines. RSSI, power, association and sleep LEDs give immediate visual feedback on module status.

Questions about this item

Which Bee socket version should I choose for my XBee module?

The board provides two Bee sockets (J4 and J5) that accept any XBee-series module, so select the socket that matches the module you plan to use.

What does the onboard 3.3 V regulator do in a real circuit?

The CJT1117 regulator supplies a stable 3.3 V to the XBee module, protecting it from the 5 V logic levels of an Arduino.

How does the Grove interface limit what I can connect?

The Grove UART connector (J1) links the adapter to an Arduino or Seeeduino, so the board only works with boards that expose a Grove UART port.
