Lantronix x Pico Wi-Fi module enables to directly configure a target device via a software access point – without a need to access a client´s network.
Lantronix x Pico Wi-Fi is a new module with a dual serial port (+USB 2.0, + SPI) enabling to connect target devices into Wi-Fi network with several features making it user very friendly. x Pico Wi-Fi is of the same miniature size like its near familiar – x Pico (Ethernet), which was introduced to you in the article „Do you need a chip-sized Ethernet ?”and it also has the same pin out, offering an unusual flexibility at the device designing.
As we´re already used to at products from company Lantronix – for a real usage it isn´t necessary to write a single row of code neither load any drivers. Perhaps the biggest advantage of the new module is, that it provides a simultaneous software AP (Access Point) with a DHCP server and Client mode, what means, that besides operation in Wi-Fi as a “usual” client, it also enables a direct access – communication with other Wi-Fi device, e,g, tablet or smartphone. It provides a huge advantage to producers regarding configuration or servicing of devices in a form of a direct access ONLY to a given device, without a need to access into a customer´s network. Safety is cared by 256 bit AES encryption and a reliable operation is guaranteed in a wide industrial operating range -40…+85°C. The module is supplied by 3.3V and serial ports are 5V tolerant. Thanks to a low power consumption can be the x Pico Wi-Fi operated even from batteries (6uA standby).Lantronix x Pico Wi-Fi is a new module with a dual serial port (+USB 2.0, + SPI) enabling to connect target devices into Wi-Fi network with several features making it user very friendly. x Pico Wi-Fi is of the same miniature size like its near familiar – x Pico (Ethernet), which was introduced to you in the article „Do you need a chip-sized Ethernet ?”and it also has the same pin out, offering an unusual flexibility at the device designing.
