... Firmware description The demonstration kit is released with a simple application already loaded in the MotionBee™ and dongle modules. This application integrates the functionalities of a ZigBee 3.0.0), which allows the networking of the modules in a star configuration, as represented in Figure 6. Specifically: ● When acting as end device/router, each MotionBee™ collects data from the integrated accelerometer, encapsulates this data within the payload and transmits the packet over the wireless channel ...
