What do I need to know about Zigbee series 2?
We sell Series 2 modules in our Bazaar. Zigbee is a standard for low-power, short range wireless devices based on an IEEE 802 standard for personal area networks ( PAN ). Zigbee modules work in unlicensed ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) band. Zigbee devices are capable of peer-to-peer, point-to-multipoint and mesh communication.
How does the XBee ZB ZigBee wireless chat work?
This basic chat tutorial shows you how to get wireless text chat going between two computers using Digi’s XBee ZB Zigbee Wireless Modules (Series 2). Using a serial connection from your computer, the text you type to one XBee will be wirelessly transmitted to the other XBee, which will send the text via serial to your other computer.
What is the serial number of a Zigbee node?
When a device connects to a Zigbee network it gets a 16-bit Network address. Each device (node) has a 64-Bit Device address. In XBee ZB modules, this 64-bit address is a unique permanent number assigned by the manufacturer. This is also the serial number of the device.
Is the XBee ZB module compatible with uartsbee?
XBee ZB module is available with a chip antenna. Pins of XBee ZB module are shown below. The XBee modules have to be configured with a 3.3V logic UART. Both UartSBee_V3.1 and Grove – XBee Carrier comes with FT232RL based USB to Serial Port and a XBee compatible socket.
