SparkFun XBee Explorer USB

SparkFun XBee Explorer USB is designed as a USB-to-Serial base unit for the Digi XBee line. This unit works with all XBee modules that include Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and pro versions. The XBee unit is plugged into the XBee Explorer, and a mini USB cable is attached for direct access to the serial and programming pins of the XBee. This Explorer USB board uses an FT231X USB-to-Serial converter that translates data between the computer and the XBee. The XBee Explorer USB offers a reset button, a voltage regulator for the power supply, and four LEDs (RX, TX, RSSI, and power indicator) to help debug the XBee. This board breaks out each of the XBee’s I/O pins to a pair of breadboard-compatible headers.
