Xbee

 




This adapter board is designed to make adding wireless point-to-point or mesh networking easy. I 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 
                                                                                                  
XBee Pro 60mw Wire Antenna                   


Description: This is the very popular 2.4GHz XBee XBP24-AWI-001 module from Digi (formally Maxstream). The Pro series have the same pinout and command set of the basic series with an increase output power of 60mW! These modules take the 802.15.4 stack (the basis for Zigbee) and wrap it into a simple to use serial command set. These modules allow a very reliable and simple communication between microcontrollers, computers, systems, really anything with a serial port! Point to point and multi-point networks are supported.
XB PRO Wire antenna Features:
  • 3.3V @ 215mA
  • 250kbps Max data rate
  • 60mW output (+18dBm)
  • 1 mile (1500m) range
  • Built-in antenna
  • Fully FCC certified
  • 6 10-bit ADC input pins
  • 8 digital IO pins
  • 128-bit encryption
  • Local or over-air configuration
  • AT or API command set

XBee Explorer USB
                                                                  
Description: This is a simple to use, USB to serial base board made by rhydoLABZ for the XBee line of products . The XBee Explorer USB will help you reduce lot of hassles normally facing to implement Xbee Network. The module is self powered from USB Port itself. After Power up it will create a virtual COM port in PC , and you communicate with the module same as serial port. The Explorer board uses FTDI USB chip.
This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro version. Plug the unit into the XBee Explorer, attach a mini USB cable, and you will have direct access to the serial and programming pins on the XBee unit.

You get the base board only. XBee modules and USB cable sold separately.
XBee Explorer USB Features
  • Mini-B USB Connector
  • Powered from USB Port(PC)
  • Onboard 3V3 Voltage Regulator for XBee Module
  • Onboard Status LEDs (Tx,Rx and RSSI)
  • Onboard Power LED
  • High qualty PTH PCB
  • All XBee Pins are available at Standard Bergstrip( 2.54mm Pitch)

 

XBee Explorer Regulated with 3v3 to

5V Converter

 

    Description: rhydoLABZ make XBee Explorer Regulated takes care of the 3.3V regulation, 3V3 <-> 5V level conversion,  signal conditioning, and basic activity indicators (Power, RSSI and DIN/DOUT activity LEDs). It translates the 5V signals to 3.3V and viseversa .so that you can interface a 5V Micros to any XBee module. All XBee pins are brought out at 2.54mm berstrip to ease breadboard usage . 
    This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro versions. Plug an XBee into this breakout and you will have direct access to the serial and programming pins on the XBee unit and will be able to power the XBee with 5V.
    This board comes fully populated with 3.3V regulator, XBee socket, four status LEDs, and level converter 3V3<->5V to communicate safely with the 3.3V XBees. This board does not include and XBee module. XBee modules sold separately.
    XBee Explorer Regulated Features:
    • Compatible with all XBee modules( Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro )
    • Built in 3V3 Voltage regulator
    • Onboard 3V3 <->5V level converter (easy to interface 5V Micros)
    • Status LEDs ( RX,TX,RSSI,Power)
    • XBee Pins available at 2.54mm bergstrip
