The upgraded DFRobot Xbee USB adapter is designed for the XBee module configuration parameters to facilitate using or to work as an FTDI writer. The new version of Xbee USB adapter is also welded with the female pin for FTDI so that users can directly use the adapter as an FTDI program writer, such as Arduino FIO/pro/mini、lilypad Arduino and so on. It's a must-have for interactive electronic installations and projects.
The adapter allows the PC to configure the XBee / Bluetooth module and the controller/development board for wireless data transmission via USB cable. You can upload your program through the wireless controller module, or conduct wireless real-time data transmission. The adapter uses an FTDI232 USB-UART converter chip to ensure stable and reliable data transmission.
