Loading... Please wait...This kit was designed to accompany the Building Wireless Sensor Networks book, which is the comprehensive guide to ZigBee wireless networks.
This kit includes most of the basic parts and pieces you will need to work through the examples in the book. If you're serious about learning everything you need to know about XBee networks, this kit and the book will get you up to speed in no time (or as long as it takes you to get through the book).
Note: The kit includes everything listed below and in the pictures. It includes many, but not all of the components needed. You may need an Arduino and some other components. This kit is not meant to be all-inclusive as you may already have some of the parts necessary.
Note: This product is a collaboration with Rob Faludi. A portion of each sales goes back to them for product support and continued development.

A really nice little kit to get you started with XBee if you want to ingrate with an Arduino.Lots of bits to play with, well worth 90 pounds of my hard-earned. I was up and running in 2 hours having never seen an XBee before, the book is worth buying too for the guidelines it gives you. The only reason I'm not giving this kit 5 stars is because the PSU has an American style plug; unless you've got or are willing to buy an adaptor it's not much use to you. In fairness this is pointed out in the features so I knew what I was buying.
The kit came in a nice red Sparkfun cardboard box, so convenient to store, and it is very well presented. I'm pleased as punch with this.
