xbee orientation on shield
Hi Folks,
Bit of a silly question but anyway, which is pin 1 on the xbee expansion on the shield? I want to be sure I plug in the right way round and I can not work it out.

It should only fit in one orientation. The side with the two groups of 8 and 6 pins will fit on the side of the board with 8 and 6 pins. The side with two groups of 10 and 8 pins will fit on the side of the board with 8 and 10 pins.
Actually, XBees fit on both orientations. The narrower edge must point outside the board, (pins 1 to 10 placed next to the ethernet connector). See this photo: http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1PjZLzCpRpDWfac5pr4XuOAenOUC80

xbee sits over the mbed app shield with tapper ends to the left, with 'mbed-enabled' label on the shield on the top right.
