messages. Data send input at any device will be
output by all devices.
If possible, StarLite and/or StarLite USB should be
used since they are very efficient at broadcast
messaging.
If extended range is required, PixieCOM may be
used, although this can lead to considerable
network traffic and so needs to be implemented
with care.
If extended range is required, but the destination
address is actually in an identifiable position in the
data, consider a custom application to imitate a
bus, but where the data is actually unicast only to
the required destination.
PC PAN
In a PC PAN, a single node on a PC (or PDA) can
communicate with a number of individual remote
devices.
If large amount of data is to be transferred,
consider a Bluetooth adapter on the PC and a
LinkMatik on the remote devices. Care should be
taken to select a USB Bluetooth adapter for the PC
which can handle multiple connections. The upper
limit will be seven remote devices.
range of the adapter – some are only 10m.)
If a greater number of devices or lower power is
required, consider a StarLite USB on the PC and a
StarLite on the remote devices.
If a multi-hop range is required, consider Pixie
Gateway on the PC, via a USB to TTL serial
adapter, and PixieCOM on the remote devices.
The USB to TTL serial adapter makes the PC side
a bit clunky, but in due course we hope to upgrade
UZBee so you will be able to use that instead in
future.
Sensor Network
In a sensor network, a large number of intelligent
devices interact together.
If a low-cost solution is required, consider using an
API-based solution such as MAC API or MailBox
API.
For rapid integration into existing systems,
consider using a command-based solution such as
PixieMAC or MailBox Gateway. This allows you to
develop the application within your existing host
device.

IEEE 802.15.4 Interoperation
To develop applications that will interoperate within
IEEE 802.15.4 networks, consider using the MAC
API on Pixie devices, PixieMAC for command-
driven nodes and MACdongle on UZBee for PC
interfaces.
ZigBee Interoperation
To develop applications that will interoperate within
ZigBee networks, consider using the Microchip
Stack for ZigBee on Pixie devices, Z-Pixie for
command-driven nodes and Zongle on UZBee for
PC interfaces.
