Interfacing microcontroller into wifi module or wifi adapter...

[kenruizal]

Guys need help.. i wanna interface a microcontroller(eg. 877 or pic18) and create an IP through a wifi and receive an IP through laptop..i dont have any idea yet..plz guys i nid help..tnx a lot..

It's not clear what, exactly, you want to do but the WizFi210 is an inexpensive WiFi-to-Serial adapter that can do both infrastructure (connect to LAN) or ad hoc (connect peer-to-peer with your laptop). It is SMD so you might want to look, instead, at the ConnectOne Nano Socket iWiFi or Mini Socket iWiFi which cost about twice as much but are simpler to handle as far as mounting. All are rather simple to work with, offering modem-like AT commands for control. The ConnectOne modules have additional interfaces (SPI, USB for both & Parallel for the nano) and also have more built-in protocols like email and network time and have SSL3 security.

is nano socket wifi is serial to wifi?...because i want in my project is to monitor all my sensor status in realtime...is nano socket wifi has its own IP address?..tnx for your reply..plz..

ConnectOne's iWiFi MiniSocket module uses an on-board serial interface with your PIC chip. PIC chip uses SEROUT2 PICBASIC statments to send AT+i commands to the MiniSocket. One of the commands will set the MiniSocket up as its own web site on the internet via the iWiFi interface to a router that is connected to the internet. You can also use it as a LAN to FTP data to a web site and also to send emails via the iWiFi interface to the internet via the router. You can give it its own IP address or run it in DHCP mode where it gets assigned an IP by the WiFi router. Any other questions?

how about ZG2100M/ZG2101M Wi-Fi® Module in microchip.com?..tnx

The iWiFi MiniSocket is made by ConnectOne. You can purchase it from Mouser for $59.00 at http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...1SNlPxFA%3d%3d .
If you can afford to purchase the EVB version, it includes one of the MiniSocket modules and will help speed up your development of code and debugging. Once you get your AT+i command statements debugged using the EVB you can move the MiniSocket from the EVB to your own PCB with assurance it is going to work with your PicBasic code.
You can purchase the EVB for the WiFi MiniSocket for $160 at

The Evaluation Board is not needed. Just use a MAX232 to connect the iChip to a PC and use the free Config Utility. Save yourself the headache and some money.

Or spend $10 for this USB-Serial adapter.

Ooops - wrong link. I meant to link to this adapter.

Sir May i ask if what is the difference wiz610 to connect one?tnx

[dhouston]

Read the datasheets and user manuals. They have similar features.

ive finally purchase in connectone..waiting for deliver..uhm i just want to ask if it is ok without a sparkfun converter to john schematic?tnx

[mackrackit]

The Connect One devise is ~3 volts only. Run the whole project at ~3 volts and you will be fine.

thank u sir..Sir if it is ok to u sir..can i have ur full schematic?if not thats ok sir..tnx
