  Hello EnviroDIY,
  
  The Digi Xbee modem XB3-C-A2-UT-001 was recently replaced with a new version: XB3-C-GM1-UT-001. The product change notification (attached) claims that the new modem is a “drop in replacement” for the discontinued model. Before I put in an order for these to replace my older, failed Xbee modems, I wanted to check with the forum about a couple things:
  
  Is this still the only viable modem choice on the Mayfly that works on the Verizon network?
  
  Has anyone used this newer model Xbee, and if so, did it work, and did it require any changes to your Mayfly Sketch?
  
  Thanks,
  Dan

  That’s a good find. We haven’t tried one of those with the Mayfly boards yet, but we’ll have to buy one and see what all might be needed to get it to work properly. Previous Digi boards required our now-discontinued bee adapter board to change the pin assignments and power supply options in order to work with the Mayfly v0.5 boards. But the latest Mayfly boards give you the ability to change bee header pins and power settings by adjusting various solder jumpers on the back of the Mayfly. Similar adjustments to the sketch would be needed as well to make sure everything matched up properly. But we’ll order a few of those Digi modules and do some testing and if it all looks good, we’ll add an example sketch to the library.
