SparkFun XBee Explorer Dongle

SparkFun XBee Explorer Dongle for the Digi XBee module line can be plugged directly into the USB port, and the device acts as a gateway between the computer and the XBee. This dongle unit works with all XBee modules that include Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard/Pro versions. The onboard voltage regulator can operate up to 500mA. This XBee Explorer dongle features an FT231X USB-to-Serial converter that translates the data between the computer and the XBee. The dongle offers a reset button, a voltage regulator for the power supply, and four LEDs (RX, TX, RSSI, and power indicator) to help debug the XBee. This XBee Explorer dongle breaks out each of the XBee’s I/O pins to a pair of breadboard-compatible headers.
