XBee Interface Extension Board

The XBee Interface Extension Board was created with Traxmaker. The extension modules plug into the e-puck via Samtec BTE-020-02-L-D-A connectors, which can be obtained directly from Samtec or one of their distributors. The Traxmaker parts library, which contains the connector and can be downloaded here: Media:Traxmaker_XBee_Lbrary.zip.
