The XBee pins are detailed in a logical arrangement in Figure 8.18 for your information.
Just be aware that only four of the pins are needed for this project, and they are shown with
an asterisk next to the pin label. All the pin and function descriptions are shown in Table 8.6.
There are a considerable number of functions available to you if needed; however, this
project requires only the most minimal functions for simple and reliable data transfers.
Thankfully, the XBees automatically connect and establish reliable communications.
