Communications Overlay Shield Adapter for WiPy
The WPXB is perhaps one of our most powerful communication adapters.
Add long range wireless communications to any of our WiPy devices, greatly expanding communication options. Expand your WiPy controller to include industrial wireless options from Digi.com, such as ZigBee, 802.15.4, or our favorite industrial wireless: S3B. The WPXB is also compatible with our line of communication modules, such as USB, RS-232, Bluetooth, WiFi, and Ethernet.
The WPXB overlay shield brings the power of modular communications to your WiPy device, as there are now many other manufacturers supporting this interface footprint.
NOTE: The WPXB adapter provides a power solution as well as TX and RX data connections to the WiPy. No other interface pins are mapped to the WiPy.

NCD manufactures and stocks many Communication Modules making it easy to adapt our products to just about any application. For the most part, all modules we manufacture are interchangeable. NCD devices that support a communications module interface socket are generally compatible with communication modules manufactured by other companies as well. We have chosen Digi XBeeⓇ and XBee ProⓇ series controllers as our favorite wireless option communication modules for industrial applications. USB and RS-232 communication modules remain a favorite for applications that require wire access. The Lantronix XPort module supports TCP/IP, making it easy to add Ethernet to your next project.
