JeeNode(v6)

€5.00 - €159.00

Go Wireless with the JeeNode - a compact, Atmel chip board with integrated radio opens up great new projects. Compatible with the Arduino platform you can  program under Windows, MacOS, or Linux using sketches created with the Arduino IDE.

Use the JeeLib library for easy interfacing - four identical “ports” can attach analog and digital I/O logic, I2C devices, and more.

The JeeNode Kit contains all the parts needed to build a JeeNode v6 – including an ATmega328p processor and a radio module. The processor chip is pre-flashed with the Arduino boot loader and the RF12demo sketch.

Kits include the ISM-band 868 MHz radio module as used in Europe. The Standard kit has an RFM12B radio module with the low profile SMD crystal.

The Classic kit has an RFM12B radio module with the metal-can crystal - good for compatibility if you are extending an existing JeeNode network already using radio modules with metal-can type crystals.

The Enhanced kit has an RFM69CW radio module with the low profile SMD crystal. This is the best kit to choose if you are inter-operating with other RFM69CW radios such as used on the current JeeLink.

See the Modern Device shop for 915 MHz JeeNodes and US$ prices.

Unsure of your soldering skills? Select the TryOut variant - you get the Standard kit plus an extra bag containing a main PCB, radio module and small parts suitable for practise soldering first. A great way to boost your confidence before  assembling the included standard kit .

The NoRF variant is a kit without a radio module. Chose this if you are adding your own radio module.

The PCB only variant is the bare v6 board without any components. You’ll need to add your own ATmega, radio module, regulator, pin headers, and a few other components to create a working JeeNode.

Need a lot? There are economical 6-packs and 10-packs - 10 for less than the price of 9!

The documentation and full design details are freely available. For an overview and comparison with Arduino, see this write-up.

Note: You'll also need a USB-to-serial connection, such as the USB BUB, to upload sketches.

As of mid-Jan 2012, JeeNodes ship with OptiBoot 4.4, which is compatible with Uno boards (the previous bootstrap was for Duemilanove's). The power feed diode became optional in V6 and is no longer needed or included in the kit.
