Post some pictures of your wiring.

Re: Can an Xbee be used with a Flora USB port?
Update: I got the Pro Trinket 3.3V I ordered and hooked it up, and it works with the Xbee. However, when I'm trying to upload the code I have, it says there's an error in the files that are included in the Adafruit Master GPS Library, specifically in SoftwareSerial. It says that version of the file only supports certain processors, and that 'table' and 'XMIT_START_ADJUSTMENT' weren't declared. I have no idea what the problem is or how to start at fixing it...would it be a problem with the Pro Trinket not having a USB serial port?

I've never seen that error before. You're using the Adafruit Arduino 1.0.5 IDE? Can you copy and paste the exact error messages (all of them) here?

I'm using that IDE...The orange box says "Error compiling" and below it says this:

The 3v Pro Trinket runs at 12MHz and the error says software serial only runs with 20, 16 or 8 MHz chips.

Would a program tested on a Flora work on a 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini? (that satisfies the 8MHz criterion as well as being 3V logic, same as the Pro Trinket I'm using)

Re: Can an Xbee be used with a Flora USB port?
It should. There are low-level hardware differences, but as long as you're working at the Arduino-language level and not getting down into the hardware dependencies like timers and I/O port registers, you should be alright.

And it would work with the Flora Ultimate GPS, the TMP36 thermometer, and the XBee Pro S2B simultaneously?

Re: Can an Xbee be used with a Flora USB port?
Sure. You'd be using software serial, hardware serial, and an analog input
