MRF24J40 RF/ZigBee Transceiver Module with PIC18F26K20, UEXT

Description

MOD-ZIGBEE-UEXT is basically the same as the
MOD-ZIGBEE
module, only with an added UEXT expansion connector which allows it to become a simple plug-in add-on peripheral to existing systems (see below). The board features an 8-bit PIC18F26K20 processor running an open-source MiWi/Zigbee stack, connected to an MRF24J40 802.15.4-compatible 2.4GHz radio module. In addition, the module has an on-board digital temperature sensor for remote temperature reporting.
Should you need or want to re-program the on-board PIC18F26K20 microcontroller, the board has a six-pin mini ICSP connector. An inexpensive programming option would be the
PIC-KIT3
plus the
PIC-Mini-ICD-6
adapter.
