SparkFun XBee 3 Wireless Kit - Elmwood Electronics

This is the SparkFun XBee 3 Wireless Kit, the perfect box full of goodies to get you started using XBees. Inside this kit you will find two XBee 3 Modules, one XBee Explorer, one Xbee Shield & a set of R3 headers to solder onto the shield. Our entire goal for the XBee Kit was to make wireless communication simple. Connect one XBee to the shield & your compatible with Arduino board, connect the other XBee to the Explorer board & your computer, & you'll be able to seamlessly pass serial data to & from your microcontroller wirelessly! Using this connection, you can transmit remote sensor data, or send data from your computer to update a scoreboard, or drive a robot from your keyboard!</p><p>The XBee Shield mates directly with an R3 or USB board, & equips it with wireless communication capabilities using the popular XBee module. The serial pins (DIN & 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 compatible with Arduino board (D2 & D3 default). Power is taken from the 5V pin of the compatible with Arduino board & 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.</p><p>The board also includes LEDs to indicate power & activity on DIN, DOUT, RSSI, & DIO5 pins of the XBee. The board's reset button is brought out on the shield, and a 12x11 grid of 0.1" holes are available for prototyping. The boards in this kit cannot source the power required for the Cellular XBee line. It will only work with the 802.15.4 XBee variants like the ones included in this kit.</p><p>.Note: If you are using these outside of the United States, please check with your local laws regarding radio communication.</p><p>Includes: 1x XBee Shield</p><p>1x XBee Explorer USB</p><p>2x XBee 3 Modules (PCB Antenna)</p><p>1x R3 Stackable Header Kit - R3</p><p>XBee Modules support data rates up to 115200bps.
