XBee to USB Interface
This board is an interface between an XBee module and an FT231XS USB UART. Originally designed for the ESU-BRIDGE ProtoThrottle Receiver, this board can be used to add XBee functionality to any Raspberry Pi or PC with a USB port. Note: this board comes with a USB Type A connector. A standard micro USB cable can be used when connecting it to a Raspberry Pi, but a Type A to Type A cable is required when connecting the board to a standard USB port.
Features
- XBee3 MMT module (Model: XB3-24Z8CM-J)
- Four general-purpose LEDs (3 blue, 1 red) driven by the XBee I/O lines
- On-board 3.3V regulator
