ARD SHIELD - W/LESS +SD SOC

SKU: ARD SHIELD - W/LESS +SD SOC

BRAND: Arduino


A000065 - Arduino Wireless SD Shield - to Prototype Wireless Applications - with Xbee(TM) compatible socket

Overview

  • The Wireless SD shield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using a wireless module.
  • It is based on the Xbee modules from Digi, but can use any module with the same footprint.
  • The module can communicate up to 100 feet indoors or 300 feet outdoors (with line-of-sight).
  • It can be used as a serial/usb replacement or you can put it into a command mode and configure it for a variety of broadcast and mesh networking options.
  • The shields breaks out each of the Xbee's pins to a through-hole solder pad.
  • Included on board is a SD card slot.
  • When using the SD Library to access the card, Pin 4 is CS and cannot be used otherwise.
  • SPI also relies on pins 11, 12, and 13 for communication.
  • Also on board is a switch allowing for control via USB or the microcontroller.
