KiteLib

One library to rule them all!

Universal wireless communication library for Arduino

KiteLib allows its users to integrate all sorts of different wireless communication modules into a single consistent system. Want to add a Bluetooth interface to your ZigBee network? Sure thing! Need to connect LoRa network to the Internet with a GSM module? KiteLib has got your back!

KiteLib was originally created as a driver for the KITE shield, but it can be used to control as many different wireless modules as you like - or at least as many as your Arduino can handle!

Supported modules:

• ES8266 WiFi module
• HC05 Bluetooth module
• JDY08 BLE module
• RF69 FSK/OOK radio module
• SX127x series LoRa modules (SX1272/73/76/77/78/79)
• SX1231 FSK/OOK radio module
• XBee modules (S2B)

Supported protocols:

• MQTT on modules: ESP8266
• HTTP on modules: ESP8266
• RTTY on modules: SX1272/73/76/77/78/79

In development:

• SIM800C GSM module
• CC1101 FSK module
• nRF24L01 2.4 GHz module
• LoRaWAN protocol on SX127x modules
• and more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I start?

First of all, take a look at the examples and the Wiki. There's a lot of useful information over there. Also, you should check out KITE shield - open source Arduino shield that will allow you to easily connect any two wireless modules supported by KiteLib!

KiteLib doesn't support my module! What should I do?

Start by creating new issue (if it doesn't exist yet). If you have some experience with Arduino and C/C++ in general, you can try to add the support yourself! Use the template files in /extras/ folder to get started. This is by far the fastest way to implement new modules into KiteLib, since I can't be working on everything all the time. If you don't trust your programming skills enough to have a go at it yourself, don't worry. I will try to implement all requested modules, but it will take me a while.
