Why Use Ruby::XBee?
  • Ruby::XBee is a convenient way to script the configuration of XBee especially if you have a lot of XBees to program and configure.
  • Ruby::XBee lends itself to building command line applications and deploying XBee networks.
  • Ruby::XBee is a quick way to experiment with functionality of XBees.
  • Ruby::XBee can alleviate the need to memorize lots of XBee AT commands and their parameters. It abstracts those into a more readable and usable API
  • Digi has no configuration support for Linux or OS X, so if these are your native or preferred environments, Ruby::XBee may be for you. It fills a host platform gap for many XBee tasks.
  • Ruby::XBee is open source and project contributions are welcome (ie: code, docs, evangelism) .
