XBBO - break out board for XBee shaped modules (CISECO K013) ACTIVE

We believe that our XBBO is the best XBee Break Out board ever. This board supports and has been tested with many different modules that are XBee shaped. Is the perfect partner for ourXRF. 

The XBBO ships in two forms: passive and active. Passive kits are lower in cost and require the data and supply to be at a nominal 3.3v. The active kit has 5V logic conversion and voltage regulator parts, as well as LEDs to allow you to monitor activity.

• Supports many different XBee shaped modules
• Unique support for over the air micro programming (OTAMP) straight from the Arduino IDE (requires XRFs)
• 0.1" header rows moved to the outside, fits on your breadboard
• 5 pin right angled header so you can plug straight into our Xino ultra low cost Arduino shaped boards or stand upright on a bread board, saving space vs. using them lying down.
• 3 extra pads along the right angled connector that can be jumpered to any pin on your XBee shaped device
• battery / external power wire strain relief
• made in the UK

For the active XBBO there is even more:

• LEDs to help you monitor activity
• 6V maximum (5V nominal) power supply
• 5V logic conversion (RX/TX)
• MCP1700 voltage regulator with just 0.05v dropout at 60ma (22 times better at least than the 1117 regulator that drops 1.1V!) allowing you to use LiPo, LiMH etc.
• Regulator can supply up to 200mA to power a micro controller

The XBBOs are shipped as a kit of parts for you to solder. 

XBBO Active does not have enough power to drive the ARF
