T-Board XBee/Wireless [140374]

This idea was triggered by a ready-made project we received. It contained an XBee module which was used in transparent mode (in short: UART to XBee), connected to the PC via a good old RS232 interface. I was lucky to have a PC with one COM port, but I decided to make a small PCB to connect it to USB using a FTDI-cable.

With the millionth Raspberry Pi rolling off the assembly line, major chip manufacturers are beginning to take the hardware hacker community seriously. Following Intel’s launch of its Arduino Galileo board, Arduino have announced an alliance with TI to produce the Tre.  The board is made up of ...

In this article we describe how to put together a wireless instrumentation network with the Arduino platform and MaxStream XBee modules. The network uses an EtherShield module to automatically make measurement data accessible via the Internet.It’s not difficult to construct a wireless instrumentation network with the Arduino platform. Here we use two stations to form the network.
