Core2530 (Waveshare)  ZigBee module, CC2530F256

Need farther communication distance? please consider the enhanced ver. XCore2530 (PA included).

Overview

Core2530 is a ZigBee module based on CC2530F256.

Combined with our Coordinator/Router firmware, the Core2530 allows transparent transmission of UART data, just as easy to use as any UART modules. It helps you to create ZigBee network and requires NO knowledge about the complicate ZigBee Specification. Besides the provided firmware, you can also develop your own application by using tools like IAR, CC Debugger.

Core2530 Features

• As easy to use as any UART modules
• Preloaded Bootloader, supports programming via UART directly without any debugger
• Provided firmware: Coordinator and/or Router(preloaded by default)
• Supports configuring via upper computer software
• Auto networking (at least 1 Coordinator and 1 Router are required)
