I created the Digi XBee Sensor Lab for Embedded World 2023 in Nuremberg, Germany. The XBee Sensor Lab is a fun, hands on demonstration of XBee Cellular, edge computing, and Digi Remote Manager Data Streams, with complete over the air access. By implementing smart sensors for different commercial and industrial use cases, the XBee Sensor Lab allows attendees to get hands-on …
I’ve been writing hands-on examples for using MicroPython on XBee radios. MicroPython is an open-source programming language based on Python 3, modified to fit on small devices, and optimized for microcontrollers. By using MicroPython, an easy-to-learn scripting and programming language, you can rapidly prototype intelligent behaviors at the edges of your network. Cryptic sensor readings can be transformed into useful data, excess transmissions …
On Monday, March 6 at 10:20 p.m. Pacific time. NASA released TechEdSat 5 (Technical and Educational Satellite 5) satellite equipped with Digi XBee 802.15.4 modules as part of a test program for wireless communications between satellites and payloads from the International Space Station (ISS). TechEdSat 5 has been collecting data every 10 seconds and transmitting it from these radios via Wi-Fi …
