This
adapter board is designed to make adding wireless point-to-pointor mesh
networking easy. Adafruit looked at all the XBee adapter boards
available and decided to design something better:
- Onboard 3.3V regulator to cleanly power your XBee,
up to
250mA
- Level shifting circuitry means that its trivial to connect
it to 5V circuitry such as an Arduino without risk of damage
- Two LEDs, one for activity (RSSI), the other for power
(Associate)
- 10-pin 2mm sockets included to protect the modem and allow
easy swapping, upgrading or recycling
- All the commonly used pins are brought out along the edge,
making it easy to breadboard or wire up
- Specifically created for use with an FTDI cable to connect
to a
computer via USB. This means that you can use or upgrade the adapter
with a computer simply by plugging in a cable
- For use with any XBee/Pro pin-compatible module
The kit includes a PCB and all components necessary to build the
adapter, unassembled. Tools are not included. This kit is really easy
and will only take 15 minutes to build, even if you've never soldered
before.
Please note that the adapter does not include an XBee module, they must
be purchased
separately.
