This low-cost XBee USB Adapter Board comes in partially assembled kit form. It provides a cost-effective solution for interfacing a PC or microcontroller with any XBee or XBee Pro module. The PC connection can be used to configure the XBee Module through Digi’s X-CTU software. Works with XBee series 1 and 2 as well as Pro modules
This adapter board provides an easy interface to the XBee or XBee Pro modules by converting the 2mm pin spacing to breadboard-friendly 0.100″ spacing. The adapter board also provides a means to connect pluggable wires or solder connections and also provides mounting holes. Note: This product from Parallax uses genuine FTDI chips 10/23/14.
