New in the Maker Shed: Uartsbee V3.1 Xbee / FTDI Adapter

The new UartSBee V3.1 from the Maker Shed is a dual use Xbee adapter / FTDI programmer. The USB port allows you to hook XBee modules up to your computer for programming and wireless linking. The integrated FT232RL IC can be used for programming or communicating with TTL/CMOS level serial devices, just like an FTDI Friend. It’s like a little Swiss Army knife for Xbees and programming. Works with both Xbee Series 1 and Series 2 modules.

I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I'm a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.
