XBee 3 with XBee Explorer and XBee shield

Hi,

Are the new XBee 3 radios supported with the XBee Explorer USB and XBee shield?

Thanks.

Hello, and thanks for your post.

We have not had any issues with the XBee Series 3 modules on our XBee shield or with our explorer boards. There are a few differences between the older series XBees and Series 3 that you might want to be aware of though. Check out our tutorial at the link below for more information.
