Microduino mCookie ZigBee

The Microduino mCookie ZigBee module adds secure, low-energy ZigBee networking to any mCookie project. It snaps between existing blocks by means of brick-compatible side rails and self-aligning pogo contacts, so you can expand your design without soldering.

Using the proven 2.4 GHz physical layer, the module forms reliable mesh-ready links for home automation, classroom labs and battery-friendly data collection. The compact design keeps your stack thin while the side rails protect the PCB and provide familiar grip points visible in the images.

• Data rate up to 250 kbps; open-field range around 100 m.
• Fully supported in the Arduino™ IDE – program it just like the rest of your mCookie family.
• Firmware-upgradeable over UART for future feature updates.
• Status LED shows network activity at a glance.
• No external antenna required – the wireless layout is integrated on board.
• Perfect for gateways, remote sensors, interactive displays and STEAM education kits.

The photographs highlight the protective rails on each end and the rows of plated contacts that carry voltage, serial, I²C and other signals to neighbouring blocks, ensuring a fast, reliable build experience.
