GA1000 Wi-Fi Add-on Module

OBSOLETE. PLEASE USE THE WA2000 ADD-ON INSTEAD.

The GA1000 Wi-Fi add-on module further expands the capabilities of Tibbo's BASIC/C-programmable devices by adding 802.11b/g communications to the already powerful hardware mix.

The GA1000 is compatible with the following products*: DS1101, DS1102, EM500, EM1000, EM1001, EM1206, EM2000, EM2001, TPP2, TPP2(G2), TPP3, TPP3(G2), LTPP3*.

The module relies on the SPI interface and requires only 5 I/O lines to control.

The GA1000 has a chip antenna onboard and a connector for an additional external antenna.

Please note that the GA1000 is a slave device and cannot be used on its own.

*Use the GA1000L module for this board.

Programming

The GA1000 is supported by a powerful wln object, which is included into the platforms of compatible Tibbo BASIC/C-programmable devices.

Our serial-over-IP (SoI) application also makes the full use of the GA1000 and Wi-Fi communications.
