RN-171-EK

RN-171-EK is an 802.11 b/g WiFi evaluation kit for the RN171 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 the TTL/UART interface. The board includes 2 convenient pushbuttons for controlling both SoftAP and WPS mode without software configuration. The status LEDs and jumpers enable rapid prototyping and integration into existing systems. The RN-171-EK can be powered by both a USB cable (included in the kit) or batteries. The board contains a battery boost circuit which makes it possible to power the board using two AAA batteries (the input voltage can go down to 2.0V DC when using the battery boost circuit).

• Ultra low power
• Complete on board TCP/IP networking stack
• Configurable transmit power of 0dBm to +12dBm
• UART hardware interface
• Up to 1Mbps data rate over UART
• Pushbuttons for AP/WPS mode and reset signals
• Real time clock for wakeup and time stamping
• Supports both Adhoc and SoftAP mode (including SoftAP for Android)
• 10 general purpose digital I/O pins
• 8 analog sensor interfaces; configurable sensor power outputs 0 to 3.3V DC
