The RN-131-EK is a Wi-Fi evaluation kit for the RN131 module that can be used to quickly add Wi-Fi 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 also includes two convenient push buttons for controlling both SoftAP and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) mode without software configuration. The status LEDs and jumpers enable rapid prototyping and integration into existing systems. The RN131 module is programmed and controlled from a console with a simple ASCII command language. Once the configuration is set up, the module can automatically scan to find an access point, associate, authenticate, and connect over any Wi-Fi network. Additionally, the module can automatically wake up, send data to a remote host and then go back to a low-power sleep state.
Supports FTP client, DHCP, DNS and HTML client protocols Supports both Ad Hoc and SoftAP mode (including SoftAP for Android) Ultra-Low Power: 4μA sleep, 40mA on Receive, 210mA on Transmit On-board TCP/IP network stack Real-time clock for wake-up and time stamping Fixed transmit power: +18dBm UART hardware interface 1Mbps sustained data rate with TCP/IP and WPA2 Push buttons for AP/WPS mode and reset signals 10 x GPIO pins 8 x analogue sensor inputs Wi-Fi Alliance certified for WPA2-PSK
