Firmware
The Pixie Evaluation boards are supplied in sets of
two, one with a Pixie module mounted onboard, the
other with a Pixie Lite module mounted on-board.
The modules are preloaded with Pixie Switcher
firmware. This is simple switching firmware using the
ZigBee HC-L profile for turning things on and off. A
short tutorial is given on the next page. For detailed
instructions, please read the Pixie Switcher data
sheet. Contact us regarding the availability of other
firmware.
