XBoard V2 - A Bridge Between Home and Internet (Arduino Compatible)

SKU: DFR0162 Brand: DFRobot

This is Version 2.0 of the Xboard. The main improvement is that it now operates at 5V, making it compatible with most sensors and I2C protocol with out the need of a voltage level converter. The XBoard is a unique Arduino board which features a WIZnet ethernet port, an XBee socket, and an ATMega328. This board will add wireless XBee control as well as internet connectivity to your projects. Its great for anything from home automation to robot control. The possibilities are endless!

It has 8 Analog I/O pins and 8 digital pins, 4 of which have PWM (indicated by an asterisk). It is compatible with all XBee modules, and also comes with an integrated socket for APC220 RF Module or DF-Bluetooth Module. The XBoard can be programmed via an FTDI programmer or via the ICSP header. Power is provided through a Mini USB connector. You can setup a web server through which you may communicate with a remote Arduino Boards and their compatibles using XBee radios, Bluetooth or APC modules. This information can be posted to a web site, Twitter or other services.

Informational LED

PWR: indicates that the board and shield are powered
LINK: indicates the presence of a network link and flashes when the shield transmits or receives data
FULLD: indicates that the network connection is full-duplex
100M: indicates the presence of a 100 Mb/s network connection (as opposed to 10 Mb/s)
RX: flashes when the shield receives data
TX: flashes when the shield sends data
COLL: flashes when network collisions are detected

Optional Parts

XBee 2mW Wire Antenna - Series 2(ZB) (TEL0020)
Bluno bee - Support wireless programming (TEL0073)
APC220 Radio Communication Module(TEL0005)

Note: By using the Xbee S2, the x-board will have the capability to establish a wireless network which is able to control up to 255 end points. Other wireless modules only support Point to Point communication.

Projects

Project 1. Using the Arduino Compatible Xboard to control a relay
In this project you will find how to use the XBoard with XBee along with DFRduino UNO R3 to control some objects over your local network.
Hardware needed:

1 DFRduino UNO R3
1 Xboard
1 FTDI programmer
1 Relay
1 CAT5 cable
1 pair of xbee modules
1 computer
1 Internet router
hookup wire

Project 2. X-Board V2 and Pachube data on LCD
This project reads feed data on Pachube and shows the data on an LCD. The project is quite simple. The following hardware was used:
-DFRobot X-Board v2 (DFR0162)
-DFRobot FTDI Basic Breakout (DFR0065) for uploading the sketch code to X-Board
-LCD2004 display
- DFRobot USB Power adapter (FIT0197)
-USB cable for power
-Ethernet cable to connect it to router/internet
