Hello guys I recently want to buy 3 pairs of XB3-24APT but I have the doubt if this model have compatibility with the USB Explorer Dongle. In the website says that have compatibility with the 1,2, 2.5 versions but I suppose that is only a mistake with non a updated information on the website.
Part number:
11697
Regards
Sergio.
I can verify the USB and serial Explorers work with the XBee3 802.15 models. I’ve got some XB3-24Z8PTs (same Pro HW, only different FW, I think) on my desk if you want me to test something in particular with XCTU.
I’ll go ahead and aggravated-recommend getting at least one of the DB9 & ext power supply Explorers for general purpose bench use. I’ve used them in pairs in making old legacy serial instruments to printers and PCs wireless, incredibly handy and I’ve never had one fail.
The product page does note that the Xbee LTE/cellular versions draw too much power for the USB Exp but these seem a lot less common (I’ve never used one).
There are a few newer explorer boards that should work for you as well and they are priced a bit lower.
Thanks a lot! I have the Sparkfun xbee xplorer dongle on my cart for buy it.
thanks for solve my doubt. Brow & Yellow Dog!
Regards!
