This adapter board is designed to make adding wireless point-to-point or mesh networking easy. I looked at all the XBee adapter boards available and decided to design something better:
  • Onboard 3.3V regulator to cleanly power your XBee, up to 250mA
  • Level shifting circuitry means that its trivial to connect it to 5V circuitry such as an Arduino without risk of damage
  • Two LEDs, one for activity (RSSI), the other for power (Associate)
  • 10-pin 2mm sockets included to protect the modem and allow easy swapping, upgrading or recycling
  • All the commonly used pins are brought out along the edge, making it easy to breadboard or wire up
  • Specifically created for use with an FTDI cable to connect to a computer via USB. This means that you can use or upgrade the adapter with a computer simply by plugging in a cable
  • For use with any XBee/Pro pin-compatible module

The kit includes a PCB and all components necessary to build the adapter, unassembled. Tools are not included. This kit is really easy and will only take 15 minutes to build, even if you've never soldered before.

Please note that the adapter does not include an XBee module, they must be purchased separately. Check out this page for a comparison of all the XBee's available.

HOW TO – Make an Xbee wireless temperature sensor
Chaaaaaaaz shows you make an Xbee wireless temperature sensor! Here is a python script I have been using to test the analog pin functions on the Xbee with the TMP36 temperature sensor. (all from the Adafruit shop). This code is from the Tweet-a-Watt page with temperature reading at the very end
Solar-Powered temperature sensor
Steve writes… In case you’ve not heard, there is a Green Revolution in progress. To quote a popular commercial, “The way we use energy now can’t be the way we use it in the future. It’s not conservation, or wind, or solar. It’s all of it.” I have long kept a solar-energy read more...

Mikey writes – Have you ever wanted to monitor how much voltage/current your small PV solar panels are producing? It is easy enough with a multi-meter, but what if you just want to monitor it remotely and log the data on your computer.

Jeez, this photo almost looks computer generated… from adafruit.com/xbee this is one half of a two-way radio data link. photo: oly e3, 50mm f2.0 macro lens, raw capture mode and 2 passes of ‘neatimage’ for noise reduction (gives it that almost-synthetic clean look). subject was shot inside a DIY lightbox with a sheet of black plastic read more...
