XBee Click is a compact add-on board providing wireless connectivity to end-point devices in ZigBee mesh networks. This board features the XB24CZ7PIS-004, a low-power Digi XBee® RF module delivering superior performance and interference immunity from Digi International. With its ultra-sensitive receiver, the XB24CZ7PIS-004 operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band (indoor/urban range of 60m and outdoor of 1200m), allowing the formation of robust mesh network optimized for use in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan (worldwide acceptance). Alongside firmware updates, it supports commissioning and LED behaviors to aid device deployment and commissioning.
We provide a library for the XBEE Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for XBEE Click driver.
xbee_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. xbee_init
Initialization function. xbee_get_serial_number
This function sends a get serial number command. xbee_set_device_name
This function sets the device name (node identifier). xbee_set_destination_address
This function sets the destination address high and low bytes. This example demonstrates the use of an XBEE click board by showing the communication between the two click boards configured in transparent mode.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and configures the click board by performing a factory reset, and setting the device name, destination address, and api mode to transparent.
Depending on the selected application mode, it reads all the received data or sends the desired message every 3 seconds.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
