INTRODUCTION
MOD-ZIGBEE features a bundle of 8bit PIC18 processor and an 802.15.4
compatible radio module that makes it easy to develop applications based on RF
communication and especially ZigBee based protocol stacks. In addition MOD-
ZIGBEE implements an on-board digital temperature sensor, for remote
temperature reporting.
BOARD FEATURES
ELECTROSTATIC WARNING
The MOD-ZIGBEE board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The board
must not be subject to high electrostatic potentials. General practice for working
with static sensitive devices should be applied when working with this board.

The cable you will need depends on the programmer/debugger you
use. If you use PIC-ICD2-POCKET or PIC-Kit3 you will need 1.8 m A-
B USB cable.
One of Olimex programmers/debuggers – PIC-ICD2-POCKET, PIC-
KIT3, or other compatible programming/debugging tool. Also
note that you would need adapter for the small ICSP connector (0.05''
step) - PIC-ICSP
