Digi WiFi modules..Has anyone tried to use one of these?

Post by Chris Ruff »

Digi WiFi embedded modules: Wi-9C, Wi-ME, Wi-EM. Has anyone tried attaching these to NetBurner products?

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

No, actually I'm not using them. But I have an Arduino BT. It uses the Bluegiga WT11.That is a very good (one of the best) device.

OK, I see all of these (WT11) parts, but how do you map these bluetooth devices to WiFi? Am I missing something?

I am presently looking at the Quatech Airborne modules. The 802.11 b/g module is $44 dollars and looks very interesting. Does anyone know of any reason why that module would be a bad choice for a 5270 environment?

Hi Chris,

Looked at some of their modules but could not find the $44 type. I read the WLNG-AN-DP101 sheet and saw that these devices need 3.3V supply so you might need to do some level shifting and/or need a second power supply (dc/dc) if the Netburner is powered with 5V.
