BWSN Basics Kit
A companion kit for Rob Faludi's Building Wireless Sensor Networks book — the comprehensive guide to ZigBee wireless networks using XBee modules. The kit includes many of the components needed to work through the book's examples, covering everything from basic sensor readings to multi-node mesh networks.
