Microchip Technology RN171 Wireless LAN Modules & Eval Boards

The module is preloaded with firmware to simplify integration and minimize application development. In the simplest configuration, the hardware only requires four connections (PWR, TX, RX, and GND) to create a wireless data connection. Additionally, the analog sensor inputs can connect to a variety of sensors such as temperature, audio, motion, and acceleration. The ability to go into deep sleep mode and automatically scan and associate to an access point when awake makes the RN171 suitable for roaming applications. The RN171 also includes a built-in HTML client to post serial UART data or sensor data to a web server automatically. Two evaluation boards are also available, the RN-171-EK and the RN-171-PICtail.
