The Embedded Wireless Module Market Heats Up Again ...

SparkFun is now carrying yet another xBee module competitor from Synapse. It's programmable and can interface to analog, I2C, SPI, and other devices via a Python subset based interpreter. SparkFun's webpage has links to the manual. They implement a mesh-like structure without a controller. All modules are addressable from anywhere in the network. Most of the functionality, other than the serial connection, is done by remote procedure call (RPC). The network can optionally be encrypted.
