The Maker-E

The X-Bee technology kit was devised to allow makers ways to quickly bootstrap themselves on using Zigbee technologies.  This kit provides makers with a bit of background information, an easy to follow tutorial, and all of the physical equipment necessary to implement the tutorial so that by the time the maker finishes going through the kit, they have a base knowledge of how wireless mesh network Zigbee works and how it is implemented. This technology kit enables users to dabble in the world of XBee radios. XBee RF communication is a widely used technology that builds off of the Zigbee protocol. It is […]

Overview The Maker-E is meant to be accessible to community members of all types, from all backgrounds.  While the equipment and resources in the lab are inherently electrical and computer engineering based, the goal is to allow those without years of coursework in electrical and computer engineering to equally access the space.  To this end, technology kits were devised to allow makers ways to quickly bootstrap themselves on widely used technologies.  Technology kits provide makers with a bit of background information, an easy to follow tutorial, and all of the physical equipment necessary to implement the tutorial so that by […]
