Good price: computer and accessories

Both work for me right out of the box. Haven't tried flashing anything yet, but XCTU seems to enjoy reading data from my XBees via USB.

Pros
  • UART communication board, XBee interface, USB interface
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Not bad for the price

Both of my computers work right out of the box. Haven't tried flashing anything yet, but the XCTU seems to be happy reading data from my XBees via USB.

Pros
  • barebones desktops
Cons
  • boring packaging

Does not appear as a device in macOS; no instructions?

There are no instructions in the box and it doesn't show up as a device on my computer. Expected it to "just work" like FTDI devices, Arduino etc. But no! XCTU (Xbee Configuration Utility) doesn't even see it and I can't find any source for installation instructions other than a messy wiki page suggesting that it comes with an installation CD or something (it doesn't)?

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Was damaged
