hi SparkFun, I am ordering parts for a student who wants to build one of these: https://softroboticstoolkit.com/hot-glu … -materials
As you can see, this BOM is old and also UK-centric. I’m trying to find a domestic supplier for these parts, or equivalent. The Xbee parts don’t seem to exist anymore — can you recommend an alternative?
Thanks!
Here’s a similar item:
[SparkFun XBee Explorer Dongle
However, the Xbee modules have been very hard to get for months.
Mouser is projecting well into November:

Would a Sparkfun Explorer Dongle + DIGI XB24CAPIT-001 do the job?

Mouser has those in stock.

The closest items that we currently carry might be something like this board https://www.sparkfun.com/products/17506 (if you were needing the xbee for its RF functionality…also grab an antenna https://www.sparkfun.com/products/17841) - but all of our xbee-compatible hardware options can also be found here https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/357 which might also help out if you are searching for other backward-compatible options
