XBEE Explorer USB
This is an easy-to-use USB to serial base unit for the Digi XBee line. It works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 & 2.5, as well as the standard and Pro version. Plug the unit into the XBee Explorer, attach a mini USB cable, & you will have direct access to the serial and programming pins on the XBee unit. The highlight of this board is an FT231X USB-to-Serial converter. That’s what translates data between your computer and the XBee. There’s also a reset button, and a voltage regulator to supply the XBee with plenty of power. In addition, there are four LEDs that’ll 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 XBee’s I/O pins to a pair of breadboard-compatible headers. So if you want to make use of the XBee’s extended functionality, you can solder some header pins into those, or even just solder some wire.
