Introduction

Wireless Sensor Node - Solar Kit is an easy to use bundle created for experimenting with XBee and XBee compatible standalone wireless modules like RFBee and Wifi Bee. Every maker is confronted with the question of selection the right set of components to build Wireless Sensor Node. Wireless Sensor Node - Solar Kit fills this place very appropriately. The Grove - XBee Carrier provides LDO power supply, charger for LiPo Battery and programming port for XBee compatible modules. The Solar Panel provides the required charging voltage in remote areas. The 500 mAH LiPo Battery provides the backup when the Sun is away. A properly designed and configured wireless module could provide very long hours of usage. For this, put the node to sleep when not transmitting the sensor value. This kit comes with a perfectly made Transparent Box , sets of Screws and Plastic Rivets.

  • We suggest you to buy more than one kit to create a distributed array of Sensor Nodes.
  • Bees Shield along with Seeeduino and Wifi Bee can act as Wireless internet Gateway for these nodes.

[hide]

Introduction

Wifi Bee is a xBee Pro socket compatible standalone MCU node useful for Wireless Sensor Network. It integrates Microchip IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi transceiver module MRF24WB0MA and a 8bit AVR MCU ATMega328P. The smart and xBee Pro Socket compatible outlook makes it very easy to integrate in your product. The ATMega328P could be directly programmed under the open source Arduino IDE when you plug it on to the UartSBee or Grove - XBee Carrier. The SPI pins on MCU are connected to the corresponding pins of MRF24WB0MA to communicate with each other, while some of the other pins (DIO, AD,PWM etc.) are brought out to the 20 pins of 2.0 mm male pin headers. Please note there is no dedicated firmware for Wifi Bee yet now, but you may use the firmware of WiShield from AsyncLabs. Please make sure you can use it before you buy.

Model: WLS48188P

Features

  • xBee compatible headers
  • Programmable using Arduino IDE
    • Arduino Duemilanove bootloader preprogrammed
  • Supports low power and low data rate Wi-Fi.
  • 802.11b compatible
  • WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK Security
  • LEDs for PWR and Wi-Fi connection indication.

Application Ideas

  • Wireless Local Area Network
  • Wireless Sensor Network using Grove - XBee Carrier
  • Internet connectivity
  • Build endless network applications with uIP TCP/IP Stack
    • Ideal for people wanting to learn and experiment with TCP/IP Stack
