Step 8Wiring up & adding Xbee Module
For information about how to wire the popular HD47780 display to the Arduino follow the links below...

Now to add the Xbee
I found that both the Adafruit adapter and Xbee module fit snugly just behind the USB socket on the arduino. In the picture, hopefully you can see the folded card insert insulating the module from other components.
The Xbee adapter makes it easy to connect to the Duemilanove with a 5v supply as the Xbees themselves require 3.3v.
Note: If you haven't yet built the Xbee Adapter kit and you're using XbeePro modules, be aware that the capacitor on the adapter board should lay down flat against the PCB. Otherwise the Xbee doesn't quite fit into the adapter headers.
