The XBee Java Library is a Java API. The package includes the XBee library, its source code and a
collection of samples that help you develop Java applications to communicate with your XBee devices.
The XBee Python Library is a Python API that dramatically reduces the time to market of XBee
projects developed in Python and facilitates the development of these types of applications, making it
an easy process.
Over-the-air (OTA) firmware update
The XBee3 802.15.4 RF Module supports OTA firmware updates using XCTU version 6.3.0 or higher. For
instructions on performing an OTA firmware update with XCTU, see

There is a limitation on the number of custom defaults that can be set on a device. The number of
defaults that can be set depends on the size of the saved parameters and the devices' firmware
version. When there is no more room for custom defaults to be saved, any command sent immediately
after a %F returns an error.
