Multiplatform XBee Configurator


The most direct way to configure simple parameters on an XBee is to use the "AT" command set.  For more advance things, you have typically needed to download the XBee configuration tool, which inconveniently in some cases runs on Windows only.  Moltosenso is multiplatform tool that might be useful.  The base edition is free; features like scripting are available in the premium packages.

Moltosenso's description from their web page:

Thanks to a snappy and totally free GUI, moltosenso Network Manager™ IRON is able to grant:

  • get/set of the parameters of Digi International® modules plugged to the PC, both in API and AT mode;

  • firmware upload (local and - where available - remote) for many supported Digi International® modules.
