This is a complete XBee wireless communication kit with everything you need to get up and running quickly, including 2 1mW XBee modules with chip antenna, the popular USB XBee Explorer, an XBee shield as well as headers required for the XBee shield.
The very popular 2.4GHz XBee modules from Digi (formally Maxstream) take the 802.15.4 stack (the basis for Zigbee) and wrap it into a very simple to use serial command set. These modules allow a very reliable and simple communication between microcontrollers, computers, systems, really anything with a serial port! Point to point and multi-point networks are supported.
The goal for this complete XBee Kit is to make wireless communication simple. Connect one XBee to the shield and your Arduino, connect the other XBee to the Explorer board and your computer, and you'll be able to seamlessly pass serial data to and from your Arduino wirelessly! Using this connection, you can transmit remote sensor data, or send data from your computer to update a scoreboard, or drive a robot from your keyboard! [...]
