I came across that while researching , it seems like a great platform however there are some stuff that is still unclear about it . Is the Zigbee module a standalone setup with X amount of IO that I can attach to and program or does solely serve as an RF transceiver ? Also what ' s the difference between the standard , pro and programmable version ? Lastly the biggest appeal to me is that there ' s a Beagle Bone Black attachment that adds IEEE 802 . 15 . 4 and Zigbee connectivity , does that mean I can connect and gather information from all these nodes using the Beagle Bone Black ? <| sep |> Enough that at this point it ' ll be newsworthy when he appoints someone who doesn ' t hate us with the fiery passion of a thousand suns .
