Plug XBee into an Android device


If I connect an XBee device (e.g. XBee S2B) to an Android smartphone (as USB host) using a USB XBee adapter module, will I be able to communicate over the XBee network using serial communications from an Android app?


Solution

  • Well I've managed to get hold of an old broken XBee, but it works well enough to indicate that it has power and has a flashing light when serial data is received. I plugged it into a galaxy s6, downloaded an Android app to create a serial connection and it looks like it does work. Power light is on, and the rx,tx lights flash as expected.
