Xbee Series 1 Wireless Kit

Product Description

Xbee module is the use of ZigBee wireless technology module, with the microcontroller through the serial port to communicate with other devices, can achieve very fast access to the ZigBee network device purpose.

This is a 2.4G of the XBee wireless module. This module uses the 802.15.4 protocol stack,through the serial port to communicate with other devices, and supports peer-to-multipointnetworks. This module has wire antenna, which is simple and convenient.

The XBee Shield simplifies the task of interfacing an XBee with your Arduino. This board mates directly with an Arduino Board and equips it with wireless communication capabilities using the popular XBee module. This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2 (and 2.5), standard and Pro version.

The serial pins (DIN and DOUT) of the XBee are connected through an SPDT switch, which allows you to select a connection to either the UART pins (D0, D1) or any digital pins on the Arduino (D2 and D3 default). Power is taken from the 5V pin of the Arduino and regulated on-board to 3.3VDC before being supplied to the XBee. The shield also takes care of level shifting on the DIN pin of the XBee.

The board also includes LEDs to indicate power and activity on DIN, DOUT, RSSI, and DIO5 pins of the XBee. The Arduino's reset button is brought out on the shield, and a 12x11 grid of 0.1" holes are available for prototyping.
