ZigBee© Communications Carrier, 2.4GHz/900MHz
DESCRIPTION
The cLS-FSTS-COMM-CARRIER contains a ZigBee©
based module that is interfaced to the Freescale
Semiconductor Tower System. The ZigBee module is
FCC conformance certified. Communications between
the MCU and the cLS-FSTS-COMM-CARRIER is
accomplished via a serial port. The port is jumper
selectable to the available MCU resources.
Serial communications is straight forward Tx and Rx. A
module reset line and sleep mode are included. Sample
code are included with the product.
Mesh networking capable allowing for multiple units to cross communicate.
Board ships with full schematics and code sample. Also included is an excel spreadsheet to be included with the
Freescale Tower Configuration Tool.
