The SparkFun XBee Explorer Serial is a simple to use, RS232 to serial base unit for the XBee line. This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro version. Just plug the unit into the XBee Explorer, attach a RS232 cable, and you will have direct access to the serial and programming pins on the XBee unit. The board also supports DTR communication so you can reprogram and configure the XBee unit.

XBee modules, RS232 cable, and power supplies can be found in the Recommended Products section below.

Note : We have recently found an error in the PCB for this product that makes the DCE/DTE jumpers not work. The board defaults to DCE and works normally, but can not be put in DTE mode. We are currently developing a fix for this be please be aware of this issue before purchasing.
