Zigbit^™700/800/900 MHz Wireless Modules Overview
ZigBit 900 modules come bundled with BitCloud, a 2^nd generation embedded software stack from Atmel.
BitCloud is fully compliant with ZigBee PRO and ZigBee standards for wireless sensing and control [8],
[9], [10] and it provides an augmented set of APIs which, while maintaining 100% compliance with the
standard, offer extended functionality designed with developer's convenience and ease-of-use in mind.
Depending on end-user design requirements, ZigBit 900 can operate as a self-contained sensor node,
where it would function as a single MCU, or it can be paired with a host processor driving the module
over a serial interface. In the former case, a user application may be used with the BitCloud software
allowing customization of embedded applications through BitCloud’s C API.
In the latter case, the host processor controls data transmission and manages module peripherals via an
extensive set of SerialNet AT commands. Thus, no firmware customization is required for a successful
module design-in. Additionally, third-party sensors can be connected directly to the module, thus
expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces.
