Arduino-compatible IoT platform comes with apps and cloud service

An Arduino-compatible coding platform designed by Digi International for building M2M wireless sensor and other IoT networks.

Available exclusively through Digi-Key for $99, the XBee platform comes with an API to design M2M wireless communications, in the 2.4GHz unlicensed frequency band, into control systems and sensor networks.

The coding platform features an Arduino-compatible microprocessor, three XBee modules, LEDs, adapters, cables, and other components in addition to software code examples.

Five design projects use the Processing open source programming language for development.

The distributor has set-up a separate support website for XBee.

 “The XBee brand by Digi International is well known in wireless circles for delivering innovation at an appealing price point,” said David Stein, v-p global semiconductors at Digi-Key.

XBee wireless networking applications can also make use of a device cloud service provided by Digi for secure management of multiple devices.
