5 open source boards using the XBEE

Real designs built with the XBEE, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the XBEE

What boards using the XBEE are built for

XBEE: common questions

Where can I find a XBEE reference design?

Each of the 5 boards on this page is a real design using the XBEE. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the XBEE use?

Most are built on STM32 (3) and RP2040/RP2350 (1).

How big is a typical board using the XBEE?

The median is 85 × 62 mm, and 80% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the XBEE?

By GitHub stars, Draco by xdandys, with 8 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the XBEE before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
