Parallax 32440 Manual

XBee Wireless Pack KickStart (#32440)
What It Can Do
Uses a radio link to wirelessly connect two (or more) microcontrollers or other devices, with a
•
range of up to 300 feet*
Supports the industry-standard IEEE 802.15.4 communications protocol
•
Included USB adapter board allows direct connection to a PC
•
*Effective range depends on numerous factors, such as use indoors or outdoors, antenna type,
data speed, obstacles, and nearby objects or equipment that may reflect or interfere with radio
transmission. Indoor range may be reduced to 100 feet or less, depending on building
construction.
The XBee® Wireless Kit contains two self-contained radio transceivers, enabling two devices,
like a microcontroller and sensor, to wirelessly communicate at data rates of up to 115,200 baud
— 9,600 baud is the default, and is fast enough for most applications. The XBee Wireless Kit
can be used to transmit sensor data from one microcontroller to another or from a
microcontroller to a personal computer. The remote transmitting station can be located in a
different room, even outdoors.
The XBee Wireless Kit comes with the following components in one package:
(2) Series 1 XBee transceiver modules, with internal PCB-mounted antenna
