Detailed Product Description:

The XBee Series 1 Wireless Communication Module is a robust and easy-to-use solution for adding wireless serial communication to your electronic projects. Based on the widely adopted IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, this module is a favorite among students and hobbyists for its straightforward setup and reliable performance. Unlike the more complex Zigbee mesh networking of the Series 2, the XBee Series 1 is ideal for simple point-to-point and star network topologies, making it a perfect DIY wireless data transmission tool for beginners and experts alike.

Operating on the 2.4 GHz ISM band, the module offers a line-of-sight range of up to 100 meters (or over a mile with the PRO version), providing ample distance for most applications. Its key technical feature is a standard 3.3V UART serial interface, allowing it to be effortlessly integrated with popular microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. With a maximum data rate of 250 kbps, it is capable of transmitting a constant stream of data from sensors, remote controls, or other devices. The module can be configured using a simple AT command set via a terminal or the dedicated Digi XCTU software, allowing you to easily set parameters like the PAN ID and destination address.

From creating a simple wireless sensor network to building a remote-controlled robot, the XBee Series 1 module provides a dependable and low-power solution. Its combination of a robust protocol, flexible interface, and straightforward configuration makes it an indispensable component for any robotics or home automation project that requires a stable and efficient wireless link.

The XBee Wireless Module (Series 1) is a compact and efficient solution for wireless serial communication over distances up to 100 meters. Built on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, it allows easy peer-to-peer or multi-node wireless communication in robotics, home automation, and IoT systems.

This module is plug-and-play with XBee-compatible shields, breakout boards, or USB-to-serial adapters, and it communicates using standard UART (TX/RX) protocol at 3.3V logic levels. You can configure it using XCTU software for baud rate, addressing, and data rate settings.

Perfect for wireless sensor networks, remote control bots, and serial data communication between microcontrollers.
