Can UC00A be a subsitute for Xbee USB explorer?If yes how do i connect it to a Xbee?
hi,
UC00A can be used to interface Xbee to computer with XCTU software.
refer user manual of xbee, page 7
• Minimum connections: VCC, GND, DOUT & DIN
• Minimum connections for updating firmware: VCC, GND, DIN, DOUT, RTS & DTR
so depending whether u will like to do some firmware update onot, if yes, then u will connect it the 2nd way so that we can communicate and also update the firmware.
be careful doing the connections, make sure of 3.3V, becoz xbee modules operate at 3.3V, set the jumper at UC00A to 3.3V and u might wan to do some protection with small value of resistors.
regards,
