This package is for doing fantastic things with your XBee device. You can, of course, already use it as a serial replacement, so you can run PPP and UUCP across it. XBee radios are low-cost, long-range, low-speed devices; with bitrates from 10Kbps to 250Kbps, they can reach many miles using simple antennas and low cost.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With xbnet, you can also run Ethernet across it. Or ZModem. Or TCP/IP (IPv4 and IPv6). SPX if you want? I guess so. SSH? Of course!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is tested with the XBee SX modules, but ought to work with any modern XBee module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XBee devices are particularly interesting because of their self-healing mesh (DigiMesh) technology. They will auto-route traffic to the destination, via intermediate hops if necessary. They also support bitrates high enough for a TCP stack, with nearly the range of LoRA.

This is a followup to, and fork of, my [lorapipe](https://github.com/jgoerzen/lorapipe) project, which is something similar for LoRA radios.
