The Advanced Kit for my Building Wireless Sensor Networks book is now finally available from SparkFun electronics! If you got the BWSN Basics Kit and still want more, the BWSN Advanced Kit can complete your array of tools and components to do every project in the book. This kit includes the key items you’ll need to complete the more advanced example projects in Building Wireless Sensor Networks. With this kit you can go “over the border” from your mesh network to the Internet, learn about home automation by exploring power control, post data using the XBee Internet Gateway software and more. Plus, you’ll save money over buying all these components separately.
Parts include:
2x Arduino Uno R3, 2x PowerSwitch Tail II, 1x ConnectPortx2, 1x XBee 2mW – series 2x, 1x 9V to Barrel Jack Adapter, 1x TMP36 IC, 1x XBee Explorer USB, 1x AA Battery Holder with Cover and Switch, 1x 6′ miniUSB Cable, 1x LM1117 Voltage Regulator, 1x 6′ USB A-B Cable, 1x 9V Wall Wart, 1x 2N3904 Transistor, 1x DC Barrel Jack Connector
Remember, this kit complements the Basics setup, so to do all the projects, you’ll want both. And you can buy it from SparkFun today.
Hello,
I’m trying to spread the word about a “native” Linux XBee firmware update utility I wrote… no more X-CTU/wine hackiness!
