I am wondering what the output current is from the VCC pin from the Digi Xbee 3 ? I cannot find this information in the data sheet. All I found was the GPIO pin output current which is 3 mA. Note that I am using the Grove SMT board ---

The VCC pin is Voltage Into the XBee module. It is not able to Source/Sync current from it. ---

The VCC line on the XBee modules is Voltage Input into the XBee module. It is not designed to Sync/Source voltage from the module with. This line is an Input ONLY line.
