Author : Sparkfun Published Time : 2019-09-11
SparkFun Thing Plus - XBee3 Micro is a compact, Qwiic-compatible board featuring the Digi International XBee3 Micro Module. The XBee3 Micro Module provides 802.15.4 2.4GHz wireless connectivity (Zigbee 3.0 Protocol), and is programmable with MicroPython. The Thing Plus - XBee3 Micro has all the basics for quickly prototyping or developing a connected device, such as a remote sensor. The Qwiic connector and JST connector for the battery make for a solder-less option when working with the board which shortens setup time.
