To configure your XBee 3 BLU device, we will use the Quick Setup feature of XBee Studio, which enables you to deploy predefined setups to one or more XBee devices quickly and easily.
These setups can range from simple processes to more elaborate demos that include MicroPython applications and other components to create a complete system.
Deploy the configuration onto the XBee 3 BLU device
