I’m hoping to use the Sparkfun XBee Shield on an Arduino Mega 2660 R3, but my D0,D1, D2 and D3 pins are being used for something else. I need the Xbee shield to use D16 and D17 instead of the default of D2 and D3. The shield’s product page says “any digital pin on the Arduino (D2 and D3 default)” can be used. How does one accomplish that?
In particular, how do I set it up to use D16 and D17 on the Arduino Mega? Perhaps that’s not possible, since those pins are completely off the shield. Or perhaps I could run a jumper over to those pins. But I need to make sure D2 and D3 are not interfered with. I see the “3” and “2” solder pads by TX and RX on the Xbee shield, but I’m not sure how to utilize those or if those are related to my goal.
Your help is appreciated.
