Development Board for XBee Modules

The WaveShare XBee USB Adapter is a UART communication board designed for engineers and hobbyists who need to test, program or configure XBee modules. It provides a direct USB connection to a host computer and exposes the module's serial interface through an onboard CP2102 bridge. Onboard buttons and LEDs give immediate visual and tactile feedback during development.

Replaces Custom Breakout Boards

This adapter removes the need to solder a custom breakout or wire a separate USB-to-serial converter when working with XBee modules. The jump is worth it when a project requires frequent firmware changes or rapid iteration on wireless network settings because the integrated controls let you reset and configure modules without extra tools.

Fits Into a USB Port

The board draws power and communicates over a single USB connection, so it needs an available port on a PC or embedded host. It frees up bench space by combining the UART bridge, power regulation and test controls in one compact PCB. Note that XBee modules and the Core2530 (B) board are not included and must be sourced separately.
