Easy to use and works really well!
I wish there were actual jumpers on the board to change the dte/dce mode. Notes:
The default mode(DCE) outputs signal on pin 2.
Accord to my Salae logic analyizer the signal is inverted.
I will buy others.
Great
There is a compatibility problem with the xbee pro 3SB, when the device is turned on it starts sequentially counting numbers https://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?p=148596#p148596
