SparkFun Digi XBee® Development Board

The SparkFun Digi XBee® Development Board is engineered to streamline the prototyping of low-power cellular IoT applications using the latest Digi XBee 3 Low-Power LTE-M/NB-IoT and Digi XBee RR modules. This versatile board supports a wide array of Digi XBee modules, including LTE cellular, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, 900/868MHz, and DigiMesh. It breaks out all the functionality of your XBee module, accommodating the power requirements of cellular modules, and has undergone a comprehensive design review by Digi Engineering.

Utilize the XBee Development Board to create sensor networks for remote monitoring, wirelessly control devices from your PC, and prototype real-time data acquisition systems. This all-in-one development board provides access to the XBee's pin functionality, features two USB-C connectors for UART communication and firmware updates, a Qwiic connector for I²C sensors and peripherals, as well as Reset and D0 buttons. Additionally, it supports firmware updates for cellular XBee modules and includes a JST port for battery connection, allowing for mobile and sustained operation with its battery charging capabilities.

Digi Remote Manager® simplifies the configuration and control of devices from a central platform. The board incorporates Digi TrustFence® security, identity, and data privacy features, which use multiple layers of control to safeguard against evolving cyber threats. Standard XBee API frames and AT commands, MicroPython, and Digi XBee Studio facilitate setup, configuration, testing, and functionality modifications.
