EasyBee 3-Board

Introduce wireless communication functionality for short distances while keeping the power consumption low using the EasyBee 3 Board. The board features an IEEE 802.15.4-compliant radio transceiver module MRF24J40MA that operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It also comes with an integrated PCB antenna, crystal, internal voltage regulator, and matching circuitry. EasyBee3 Board communicates with the host microcontroller through a SPI interface. The DIP switches SW1 and SW2 on the additional board can be used for SPI communication. It is compatible with the Microchip.

IC/Module: MRF24J40MA 2.4 GHz IEEE Std. 802.15.4 RF Transceiver Module

Compliant with IEEE Standard 802.15.4 specifications, the surface mount MRF24J40MA RF transceiver module features an integrated crystal, internal voltage regulator, matching circuitry and PCB antenna. It interfaces with many popular Microchip PIC microcontroller using a 4-wire serial SPI interface. The printed circuit board is built with FR4 material, four layers and 0.032 inches thick.

Power Supply Voltage Selection

By default, the EasyBee3 Board uses the 3.3V power supply voltage for its operation. The voltage regulator aboard the additional board allows user to adjust the additional boards voltage level to the development systems voltage level. EasyBee3 Board comes with a J1 jumper that allows the user to switch from the 3.3V to 5V position.
