The Microchip PIC ZigBee Development Kit enables fast prototyping of ZigBee applications. The development kit includes a sink board and two battery-operated sensor boards, each with the EM260 module board installed. A full C compiler and an in-circuit debugger/programmer unit are included for quick project start-up and ease of use. The kit features full communication protocols with the Ember-ZigBee stack using the powerful Ember EM260 chip.
