Wireless Networking with 16f877? - Kevin Van Winkle - Jun 23 10:21:00 2004

I thought I'd put this query out there in the hopes of not having to reinvent the wheel. I'd like to use a 16f877 (Or similar) to talk via 802.11b/g. I know of the 8/16 bits kludges of regular NICS to this chip, but was thinking of wireless if anyonw had done it. I'm considering all possibilities (USB NIC, PCCARD(Cardbus/pcmcia) or PCI) All have issues. The USB would be the simplist interface, but I fear it is software intensive and would require quite a bit of backwards engineering to get it to talk in this application. Much like trying to deal with a "Software" modem I would think. The PCCARD style is attractive, but I don't know much about it, and creating a bus for it or a PCI card seems kind of tough given the limitations of a PIC micro. I did see DIGI had some modules, but at $108 each, maybe out of range for a project that could have commercial implications. So, anyone have PICs making a living on their wireless networks without some intermediate interface really doing the work? (IE, pic talks to pc that talks via 802.11) _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar – get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ |

How about hanging an ethernet interface on the PIC, and then using a standard WiFi interface?

You may want to look at this! http://www.lantronix.com/products/eds/wiport/ Serial interface to a 802.11b tranceiver. I do not know of the price. They also have a dev. kit Scott -----Original Message----- From: Don Hackler [mailto:] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 2:26 PM To: Subject: Re: [piclist] Wireless Networking with 16f877?

Price from my local distributor some 110 Euro, about $135. Pretty expensive IMHO considering you can buy WiFi cards for $20 or less...agreed these come with twists, but boy, they make you pay for them. I think that their Xport is good value for money, however.
