You will also need to set a jumper correctly on the board so we can upload a sketch. On
the XBee shield, you have a little switch close to the XBee module to choose between the
XBee module being connected directly to the Arduino board serial interface (which means
you can't upload any sketches anymore) or leaving it disconnected. As we need to upload
the Arduino sketch first, you need to put this switch to

, as shown in this image:
You will also need to connect the XBee explorer board to your computer at this point.
Simply insert one XBee module to the board as shown in the following image:
Now that this is done, you can power up everything by connecting the Arduino board and
explorer module to your computer via USB cables.
Note
If you want to use several XBee motion sensors, you will need to repeat the beginning of
the procedure for each of them: assemble one Arduino board with an XBee shield, one
