Digi International 76000956 XBee TH Grove Development Board

Overview

The 76000956 is a Grove-format development board built to carry an XBee Through-Hole (TH) RF module for rapid sensor and prototyping work. Instead of wiring a breakout by hand, you socket the XBee TH module directly onto the board and use its Grove connectors to pair sensors, actuators, or displays without custom cabling. It fits early-stage proof-of-concept builds and lab bench testing where you need to validate an XBee TH radio in a live sensor loop before committing to a production PCB layout.

Compatibility

Built for Digi XBee TH (through-hole) module variants — the pin layout and socket spacing on this board match Digi's through-hole XBee footprint, not the surface-mount (SMT) or PCB Antenna form factors. Grove-standard connectors on board make it compatible with the wider Grove sensor and peripheral ecosystem, so any Grove-interface sensor, button, or display module plugs in directly without a breakout adapter. Confirm your specific XBee TH module (Zigbee, DigiMesh, or 802.15.4 variant) uses the through-hole pinout before pairing it with this board.

Installation Notes

At 0.2 x 3.2 x 0.2 in and roughly 0.1 lb, the board is small enough to sit directly on a breadboard or inside a compact enclosure without added mounting hardware. Seat the XBee TH module fully into its through-hole header before applying power to avoid intermittent RF connections, and route Grove cables clear of the antenna area on the module to limit signal interference during testing.
