Arduino Radio Frequency (RF) Shields & Accessories
- Arduino A000007, The Xbee shield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using Zigbee. It is based on the Xbee module from Max Stream. The module can communicate up to 100 feet indoors or 300 feet outdoors (with line-of-sight). It can be used as a serial/usb replacement or you can put it into a command mode & configure it for a variety of broadcast & mesh networking options. The shields breaks out each of the Xbee's pins to a through-hole solder pad. It also provides female pin headers for use of digital pins 2 to 7 & the analog inputs, which are covered by the shield (digital pins 8 to 13 are not obstructed by the shield, so you can use the headers on the board itself).
