SV: [Icc-avr] Atmel/Meshnetics Zigbee Stack

[Bengt Ragnemalm]

To work fast this modules just like Bluetooth, I only use modules with
includes stack and run my software on an external MCU (AVR). It is not the
cheapest solution for large volume but the shortest development time.

As for Meshnetics, they already have an AVR built in, in their module so you
can put your code in the same MCU and share the resources with their code.
They can help you with that.

ZigBee is not yet a low cost solution, Bluetooth is still cheaper and there
are smaller and better modules available. If ZigBee continues to grow that
is likely to change as ZigBee requires simpler hardware. ZigBee have
advantages over Blutooth IF you need a network and IF you send data very
slowly. For faster point-to-point transmission there is no point in using
ZigBee for power reasons.
