An easy to use wireless module for prototyping. Has a superior range (up to 1Km) and is greater in building penetration has lower current consumption and lower cost. The communication of the device is normal serial and it transparently passes characters to and from
XRFs.There is no need to do CRC's, any error checking, etc. it's all done.
XBee socket friendly 2x 10-pin 2mm pitch layout RF module, in many projects can be a drop in replacement for series 1
XBee's. Potentially this means existing code needs no changes.
- Device works straight out of the box, simply plug and send serial 9600bps data (many other baud rates supported)
- Can specify a network identifier PANID to separate comunications into separate networks if desired
- Based on the Texas Instruments CC1110 combined micro and RF transciever
- Runs at 868.3MHz, same chip can support 315, 433, 900 and 915MHz
- Over the air data rate of 250Kbps with a max of 500Kbps
- Fits an XBS shield and XINO Pro board and is a total drop in replacement for XBee
- Can be programmed in its own right
- Supports serial bootloading for firmware updates without a hardware programmer and using just RX/TX
- Facilitates remote Arduino/Xino over-the-air programming
- v1.5 now has 5V tolerant serial in so can be used with a 5V micro without level conversion
- Supports 128bit AES encryption
