What is USB Xbee®?

USB XBEE® is a small electronic device that connects Port Universal Serial BUS (USB) to Radio Xbee®. Xbee® Radio often uses electronic fans, especially in conjunction with the Open Source Arduino® platform. Xbee® Radio allows devices to communicate distances between 100 and 300 feet (about 30 and 90 meters), depending on the conditions. Radio works best with direct supervision between devices that communicate with each other. This means that these devices that are not otherwise equipped with Xbee® radio will be able to use Xbee® Radio for a distance with another computer, mobile phone or Arduino® invention. Arduino® can also use Xbee® radio to communicate with each other without the need for USB.G; It is a common part of this hardware. As such, it is widely available from various manufacturers and retailers. This arrangement helps to ensure that costs are relatively low compared to similar components of electronic platforms with a closed source. Although Xbee® Radio itself cannot be easily assembled at home,Other components necessary to create it are available in electronic supply stores.

Any project that needs to communicate over a significant distance could use USB Xbee & Reg. One example is the remote control vehicle that takes instructions from the smartphone. Another is an outdoor wireless meteorological station, which is switched to a computer to alert the users of sudden changes in outdoor conditions. A more practical option is a device for a wirelessly change of comprehensive arrangement of Christmas lights without leaving home or running a control cable in light.

There are two common alternatives to USB Xbee®. One of them is Bluetooth®, a short -range wireless communication protocol, which is usually used with mobile phones or accessories. Common applications include wireless keyboards and wireless headsets. Although Bluetooth® MThe larger bandwidth than Xbee® radio and is already supported by many mobile phones and some computers, its efficient range is about 12 feet (3.66 m), even with supervision.

Another alternative is WiFi®, a high bandwidth connection commonly supported on laptops and smartphones. WiFi® usually has a similar range to XBee® and can already be installed at a location that will be used by Arduino® invent. These networks use more energy and can be more difficult to configure.
