The main improvement is that it now operates at 5V, making it compatible with most sensors and I2C protocol without the need of a voltage level converter. The XBoard is a unique Arduino compatible 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. It's 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. #### **SPECIFICATION** - MCU:Atmega328P low voltage version (16Mhz) - Ethernet: WIZ5100 - Arduino Uno bootloader - Supply voltage:5~12v - Output voltage:5v/3.3v - Digital IO: 8 - Analog In: 8 - Environment Friendly: Rohs Compliance **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)](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-442.html)(TEL0020) - [Bluno bee](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1073.html) - Support wireless programming (TEL0073) - [APC220 Radio Communication Module](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-57.html)(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.
