External Interface
- B-11a. I/O & Power LEDs
- LEDs indicate RF module activity as follows:
- Yellow (top LED) = Serial Data Out (to host)
- Green (middle) = Serial Data In (from host)
- Red (bottom) = Power/Association Indicator (Refer to the D5 (DIO5 Configuration) parameter)
- LEDs indicate RF module activity as follows:
- B-11b. RSSI LEDs
RSSI LEDs indicate the amount of fade margin present in an active wireless link. Fade margin is defined as the difference between the incoming signal strength and the module's receiver sensitivity.
- 3 LEDs ON = Very Strong Signal (> 30 dB fade margin)
- 2 LEDs ON = Strong Signal (> 20 dB fade margin)
- 1 LED ON = Moderate Signal (> 10 dB fade margin)
- 0 LED ON = Weak Signal (< 10 dB fade margin)
- B-11c. USB Port
Standard Type-B OEM connector is used to communicate with OEM host and power the RF module.
- B-12a. DIP Switch
DIP Switch functions are not supported in this release. Future downloadable firmware versions will support the DIP Switch configurations.
- B-12b. Reset Switch
The Reset Switch is used to reset (re-boot) the RF module.
Documentation and Support
Digi’s xBee Pro is a 2.4GHz radio that makes wireless communication between devices simple and easy! The modules pack a powerful 60mW signal that allows for long range communication. The module outputs a 3.3V TTL serial signal that can easily communicate with a microcontroller like the Arduino. Based on the popular Zigbee platform and the IEEE 802.15.4 stack these modules provide simple and reliable wireless communication for your next project!
