2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board, make sure
to solder the provided 1x8 male headers
to both sides of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

4. Board applications
MRF24J40MA
is IEEE 802.15.4™ standard
compliant RF transceiver and a great choice
for building automation & monitoring,
industrial monitoring, automated meter
reading, security, inventory management
and more. It supports ZigBee®, MiWi™, MiWi
P2P and proprietary wireless networking
protocols with data rates of 250 kbps (IEEE
802.15.4).

1. Introduction
2
Turn the board upside down, so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in the
both soldering pad locations.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
BEE click is an accessory board in
mikroBus™
form factor. It features 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4
radio transceiver module
MRF24J40MA.
This
module includes an integrated PCB antenna
and matching circuitry and is connected to
the microcontroller via a SPI interface. As
such, this module is an ideal solution for
wireless networks, smart home and building
automation, and other electronic applications
that need wireless communication. Board is
designed to use 3.3V power supply only.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board with
the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all the
pins are aligned correctly,
push the board all the
way into the socket.

6. Power supply - 3.3V only
Board is designed to use
3.3V power supply only. If
you need to add ZigBee
™
feature to your 5V proto-
type or development board,
we recommend you to use other boards such
as the EasyBee 3 board:
