Electronics Guide

XBee

The XBee headers allow you to connect an XBee wireless module other XBee compatible

devices. Take note of the image on the board for how to orient the module. Please refer to the

communication / control section in this guide for more information.

USB

Commands can be sent to the SSC-32U’s microprocessor from the computer via the onboard

USB port. The microprocessor can only understand commands sent in serial (not USB) format,

so an FTDI chip (the area highlighted next to the USB port) converts the USB datastream to

serial and allows the board to be picked up by your computer’s COM port once connected.

Please refer to the drivers section below for more information.
