XRF Radio Data Module

Been looking for an easy to use wireless module? One with superior range, greater in building penetration, lower current consumption and lower cost? We think the XRF might be what you have searched for. 

The communication of the device is normal serial, it transparently passes characters to and from a pair or multiple XRF's. You don't need to do CRC's, any error checking etc it's all done for you.

XBee socket friendly 2 x 10 pin 2mm pitch layout RF module, in many projects it'll be a drop in replacement for series 1 XBees. Potentially this means your existing code needs no changes.

• Out the box direct serial replacement, no complex setups, what you send to one appears on all the other XRF's. The packetisation, data checking etc is all done for you. 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 & RF transciever, runs at 868.3Mhz, same chip can support multiple frequencies. 
• Over the air data rate of upto 250Kbps .
• Fits our XBS shield and XINO Pro boards and is a total drop in replacement for XBee in our aProtocol examples. 
• Can be programmed in it's own right. We suggest the free version of IAR's C compiler as there is TI sample code published on the web.
• Supports serial bootloading for firmware updates without a hardware programmer and using just RX/TX.
• PCB can support straight or right angled RP-SMA for easy connection to external antennas.
