Explorer dongle unit for the Digi XBee module line
Features FT231X USB-to-Serial converter
On-board voltage regulator up to 500mA
RoHS compliant
The XBee Explorer USB Dongle is the XBee explorer dongle unit for the Digi XBee module line. With the XBee Explorer Dongle you can plug the unit directly into your USB port and have it act as a gateway between your computer and the XBee. No cables needed! This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro version. The on-board voltage regulator is good up to 500mA.
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 (signal-strength indicator), and power indicator.
This adapter is super-fast and simple to use -- just seat the XBee on the board and then jack the assembly into a USB port. No FTDI cable required. Can use it as breakout board, too, if you solder in some additional header. Sparkfun gets full marks for build quality.
