Zigbee

My Zigbee Configuration

Here is a picture of the configuration I'm using for my Zigbee: the radio chip itself is attached to a breakout board, which has a mini usb plug on it. I've got two Zigbees and two breakout boards.

I'm currently working through how to control the Zigbee directly from the computer via the mini usb cable.

Projects

HackRF and Zigbee

Main page: HackRF/Zigbee

As of June 2016, I am working on a project to transmit information with a Zigbee, receive the signal with a HackRF, and demodulate the signal with Gnuradio.
