RoMeo Wireless Connector -> XBee adapter

Hi,

I want to connect LadyAda's XBee Adapter to the Wireless Connector of the RoMeo.
The RoMeos connectors pin layout is not FTDI compatible, but this is solvable by a different wiring.

The Silkscreen states the pins are the following:

GND, 5V, DTR, TX, RX

DTR (=Data Terminal Ready?), is a signal of the XBee but in the RoMeo shemantics the DTR pin maps to Reset...
If I measure the reset Pin against the "DTR" there is no connection...
-> What is it?

Thanks

I believe the DTR on the Romeo is wired to the reset pin in case you want to reset the romeo via wireless. For the Xbee all you need is:
3.3V
GND
Tx
Rx


If you don't get it working you might need to switch the Tx/Rx wires. Try a simple hello world program to test the connection.
