HobbyTronics | SparkFun RN-XV WiFly Module |WRL-10822 RN-XV WiFly Module The RN-XV module by Roving Networks is a certified Wi-Fi solution especially designed for customer who want to migrate their existing 802.15.4 architecture to a standard TCP/IP based platform without having to redesign their existing hardware. In other words, if your project is set up for XBee and you want to move it to a standard WiFi network, you can drop this in the same socket without any other new hardware. The RN-XV module is based upon Roving Networks' robust RN-171 Wi-Fi module and incorporates 802.11 b/g radio, 32 bit processor, TCP/IP stack, real-time clock, crypto accelerator, power management unit and analog sensor interface.The module is pre-loaded with Roving firmware to simplify integration and minimize development time of your application.

Arduinology herbie555 asked: I'm attempting to use WiFlySerial 1.08 with a RN-XV and a Sparkfun ProMicro 3.3V.Wired using the standard pins 2,3, but all my sketches, including WiFlyTest, are hanging at/around the first call to WiFlySerial::begin(). I've checked the wiring continuity and experimented with swapping the pin assignments (3,2 instead) and changing the default baud rate, but I simply cannot get past this first step. 2 RN-XV boards, so I'm reasonably certain it's not a damaged unit. Anything else I can try? Hi Herbie555, WiFlySerial does look for the version number of the RN chip firmware… RN’s send it as part of their command prompt. Set the library’s version number to your RN’s firmware version … might help. Let us know either way!

Arduino Pro Mini with RFM12b Arduino pro mini + wireless transmitter= good fun! The previous breakout board I have produced can be used to interface the RFM12b to a controller such as the arduino pro mini. The RFM12b is a single chip, low power, multi-channel FSK transceiver designed for use in applications requiring FCC or ETSI conformance for unlicensed use in the 433, 868 and 915 MHz bands. a version that requires an external whip antenna: a simple wire soldered on the proper pina version that includes a chip antenna (printed on the board): no need for an external wire Because there are 2 versions of the RFM12b you need to use a wire of the proper length: for the 433MHz range @ 1/4 wave = 164.7mmfor the 868MHz range @ 1/4 wave = 82.2mmfor the 915MHz range @ 1/4 wave = 77.9mm In this snapshot I soldered two breadboards with an 868MHz (the red wire) and a 915MHz (the blue wire), they sit nicely on a standard breadboard for prototyping. For the power connection: svn co

Cairo Hacker Space: A beginner’s guide to connecting and operating the WiFly to Arduino Serially We were working on a home automation project , we used the wifly gsx in our project .When we bought it, we thought it will be easy to communicate it like a serial modem between the arduino and PC ,,, of course we are not noobs :) but every inch in the datasheet made us feel like one :)And when we searched for a solution for even one of our countless problems we faced.... the result can be summarized in three words ... WIFLY NOT WORKING or we are noobs :D Of course i am kidding :) ,,we are not noobs and wifly is WORKING :o , thanks to sparkfun wifly library and We decided to start our new virtual hackerspace with this easy step by step tutorial for wifly :Please post any problem you faced with wifly or arduino . boolean initSettings() WiFly.SendCommand("set wlan auth <value>","AOK"); //WiFly.SendCommand("set wlan key <value>","AOK"); WiFly.SendCommand("set wlan channel <value>","AOK"); WiFly.SendCommand("set wlan join <value>","AOK");

RN-XV WiFly | niltoid.niltoid. The RN-XV WiFly Module from Roving Networks is an affordable way to go wireless with your Arduino project. It’s $35 and you only need 1 to get started, assuming you have a wi-fi adapter in your computer as well. Previously, only the more expensive options such as the WiFly GSX ($85) were available. I’m not sure, but I assume the price difference is mainly due to signal strength differences. There are currently more resources and Arduino libraries available online for the WiFly GSX or WiFly Sheild, since they’ve been around longer. However, the RN-XV is gaining popularity fast and I hope to see future versions of these WiFly libraries work more reliably for the RN-XV. If you don’t care about connecting to a wi-fi network, and instead want simple point to point wireless serial communication, another alternative is the hugely popular Xbee Module. But back to the RN-XV. I started out by attaching a bread board to my Robot Chassis. RN-XV VCC (Pin 1) – Regulated 3.3V RN-XV GND (Pin 10) – GND

Getting started with the RN-XV WiFi Module & Node.js | Limina.Log The RN-XV WiFi module is a nifty little WiFi module designed to fit the same pinout as an XBee, so it’s intended to be a drop-in replacement. Tonight I whipped up a little test of the module to get a joystick to talk to a Node.js server over WiFi. I attached +3V power and ground to the module (pins 1 and 10, respectively), pin 2 (TX) to Arduino digital pin 0 (RX), and pin 1 (RX) to Arduino digital pin 1 (TX). That’s all the hardware setup you need. I used this WiFly library to handle the connection. nodeArduinoWiFly / Ted Hayes Talks to a node.js server via a Roving Networks RN-XV WiFly module.Full description: WiFly Shield Library: #define PIN_VERT 0 // analog#define PIN_HOR 1 // analog #define PIN_PUSH 2#define PIN_LED_RED 3#define PIN_LED_GRN 4#define PIN_LED_STATUS 13 // onboard LED int vert = 0;int hor = 0;bool push; delay(100);} Related Posts:

jcrouchley/WiFly-Shield SerialCallResponse /* Serial Call and Response Language: Wiring/Arduino This program sends an ASCII A (byte of value 65) on startup and repeats that until it gets some data in. Then it waits for a byte in the serial port, and sends three sensor values whenever it gets a byte in.

Using the RN-XV WiFi Module as a Remote Switch | Limina.Log It’s been a struggle, but I finally figured out how to use a Roving Networks RN-XV WiFi module as a remote switch. It’s not hard now that I know how it works, but figuring out was quite difficult, as the manual is apparently incorrect and the firmware it shipped with was causing problems. Read on for the solution! Hardware Simple! Here’s all you need: An XBee breakout board (so you can plug it into your breadboard)An XBee Explorer (not necessary with ad-hoc mode, but I had one around so this tutorial will use it)3.3V regulator (ONLY—the module has a 10% tolerance, so anything beyond that will either not work or damage the module).10µF and 0.1µF capacitors for good measure (clean power is especially important when using radio devices)Power and Ground (Pins 1 and 10, the top and bottom pins on the left side of the module)An LED connected to pin 9. Setup With your module plugged into USB, open up the port in CoolTerm. set wlan phrase <your wpa password> set wlan ssid <your ssid> save reboot

Using the WiFly RN-XV from Roving Networks Hi following on from this post by Chris A. I have been using the WiFly RN-XV module from Roving Networks as a telemetry link to the APM 2.5. I have to say this unit is amazing at it can be configured in so many different ways. Due to it's flexibility the WiFly can be somewhat daunting to configure. This is the simplest configuration and is great at home when you have an available WiFi network. To configure the WiFly connect it using an FTDI cable to your computer. The default baud is 9600, to connect i run Terminal and the command screen /dev/cu.usbserial-AM01RMWT 9600 type $$$ to enter setup mode. Option: Infrastructure TCP factory Rset uart baudrate 57600set wlan ssid YOUR_SSIDset wlan phrase PASSOWRDset ip flags 0x6 (means TCP connection closed on disconnect)set uart baudrate 57600save infratcp (save it with a name, so easily switch configs with load later)savereboot Option: Soft AP Hope this helps :-)
