The iDigi™ BL4S100 Add-On Kit ZB includes all the hardware and software tools to add wireless embedded control to a ZigBee network. Using the iDigi platform, developers can rapidly deploy and manage their applications remotely across a ZigBee network through the iDigi platform when combined with the iDigi X4 Starter Kit ZB. The BL4S100 adds intelligent I/O to the iDigi platform that can be easily programmed to perform supervisory tasks as well as provide localized control of devices that are connected to a ZigBee network.

Rabbit’s BL4S100 single-board computers offer a low-cost solution for control and communication that gets you through the development process quickly. The BL4S100 series is designed to support the rapidly increasing use of ZigBee connectivity for companies looking to deploy wireless networking. Digi’s XBee® ZB ZigBee PRO RF modules are compatible with other manufacturers’ devices using the ZigBee PRO compliant feature set, providing great flexibility in choices of nodes to include on the network.

The BL4S100 series integrates on-board functionality to support a wide range of applications. Analog inputs, general purpose I/O as well as serial ports, along with 10Base-T Ethernet connectivity provide design resources for both commercial and industrial applications.

Develop and debug programs using Rabbit’s industry-proven Dynamic C integrated development environment. The Dynamic C IDE includes the popular µC/OS-II Real-time Kernel operating system, point-to-point protocol (PPP), FAT file system, RabbitWeb, and other select libraries.

Connect the BL4S100 board to the PC using a USB cable and then debug using breakpoints, watch expressions and other features oriented toward real-time embedded systems programming. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, including a royalty-free TCP/IP stack for network and Internet communications. Rabbit provides full source code for most of the library routines.
