Raspberry Pi Zigbee for Wireless puTTY communication

As part of the robotics project, decided to use Zigbee instead of physical UART / LAN cable to make a wireless Raspberry Pi.. Not much information is available on Raspberry Pi interfacing with PC through Zigbee, maybe it is because the system is very simple. Below is the picture of a wireless Raspberry Pi that can be controlled from half a kilometer away.

One of the main advantage of above hardware is that it uses the 5V to 3.3V regulator on board the Zigbee board and hence does not load the meager 50mA 3.3V of Raspberry pi. I am still using puTTY (at serial 115200) to control the raspberry pi. Below is snapshot while editing code wirelessly.



Used X-CTU to configure Zigbee Pro to 115200 baud.
