Product DescriptionThis is the XBee Explorer Dongle unit for the Digi XBee module line. With the XBee Explorer Dongle you can plug the unit directly into your USB port and have it act as a gateway between your computer and the XBee. No cables needed! This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro version. The on-board voltage regulator is good up to 500mA. The highlight of this board is an FT231X USB-to-Serial converter. Thats what translates data between your computer and the XBee. Theres also a reset button, and a voltage regulator to supply the XBee with plenty of power. In addition, there are four LEDs thatll help if you ever need to debug your XBee: RX, TX, RSSI (signal-strength indicator), and power indicator. This board also breaks out each of the XBees I/O pins to a pair of breadboard-compatible headers. So if you want to make use of the XBees extended functionality, you can solder some header pins into those, or even just solder some wire. Note: There is no XBee included with this Explorer Dongle.Set Contains:1 x XBee Explorer Dongle
