Hey guys,
Had a question regarding the modules that can be used with the M2… My application/use will require that I have both gps and wifi. Will it be possible to stack them, or should I go about routing to the tx rx pins for gps directly?
If it is possible to daisy chain xbee modules in other applications (without rerouting pins), then it should be possible but it might be confusing to the SAMD chip if RTS/CTS signals aren’t present.
I wonder if there is a combo xbee module out there w/ GPS & WIFI
There are other GPS solutions out there that won’t use the xbee slot. Some will use the SPI interface that the Due uses for other things already (Such as SWCAN) or a USB or Serial type connection. Seems like overkill to use the xbee slot for this when there are other options.

I agree - I’d suggest you connect GPS to the 26 pin socket (J5). We’ve got a couple interfaces on that connector, but the easiest way would probably be to use UART3.
Something like this would work well:
Then, you’d use a different UART to connect to your BLE XBEE module. There are a lot of options out there, but here is an example of one that should work:

Awesome. Thanks for the quick feedback!
