RN-131-EK (MICROCHIP)

RN-131-EK is an 802.11 b/g WiFi evaluation kit for RN131 module that can be used to quickly add WiFi connectivity to embedded applications. It has the flexibility to connect directly to a PC via a standard USB interface or to embedded processors through TTL/UART interface. The board also includes 2 convenient pushbuttons for controlling both SoftAP and WPS(WiFi Protected Setup) mode without software configuration. The status LEDs and jumpers enable rapid prototyping and integration into existing systems. The RN131 module incorporates a 2.4GHz radio, processor, full TCP/IP stack, real time clock and supports FTP client, DHCP, DNS, and HTML client protocols. The module supports ad hoc and infrastructure networking modes along with SoftAP mode. The module is programmed and controlled from a console with a simple ASCII command language. Once the configuration is set up, the module can automatically scan to find an access point, associate, authenticate and connect over any WiFi network.
