This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro version. Plug the unit into the XBee Explorer, attach a mini USB cable, and you will have direct access to the serial and programming pins on the XBee unit. The highlight of this board is an FT231X USB-to-Serial converter. That’s what translates data between your computer and the XBee. There’s also a reset button, and a voltage regulator to supply the XBee with plenty of power. In addition, there are four LEDs that’ll help if you ever need to debug your XBee: RX, TX, RSSI (signalstrength indicator), and power indicator. This board also breaks out each of the XBee’s I/O pins to a pair of breadboardcompatible headers. So if you want to make use of the XBee’s extended functionality, you can solder some header pins into those, or even just solder some wire. Not sure which XBee module or accessory is right for you?
