SparkFun Digi XBee® Explorer USB-C

Unleash the power of Digi XBee® modules with the next-gen SparkFun Digi XBee® Explorer USB-C! This compact, easy-to-use adapter is the perfect bridge between your computer and any through-hole Digi XBee module, making prototyping and development a breeze. Whether you're a seasoned IoT architect or just starting your wireless journey, the Digi XBee® Explorer USB-C empowers you to bring your ideas to life.

The XBee Explorer USB-C makes it possible to build sensor networks for remote monitoring, control devices wirelessly from your PC, prototype real-time data acquisition systems, and more! This board gives you access to the pin functionality of the XBee, including a single USB-C connector for UART communication, a Qwiic connector for I²C-capable sensors and peripherals, and Reset and D0 buttons.

Digi Remote Manager® allows users to configure and control devices from a central platform easily. Built-in Digi TrustFence® security, identity, and data privacy features use multiple control layers to protect against new and evolving cyber threats. Standard XBee API frames and AT commands, MicroPython, and Digi XCTU® simplify setup, configuration, testing, and adding or changing functionality.

The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I²C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.
