Description

The RN-174 development board is a field ready, Wi-Fi

Alliance certified 802.11 b/g prototyping platform. The

board has the flexibility to connect directly to a

standard RS232 interface or through the TTL UART

interface to embedded processors. The RN-174

contains a battery boost circuit which makes it

possible to power the board using two AA batteries

(input voltage can go down to down to 2.0V DC when

using the battery boost circuit). This makes the RN-

174 perfect for battery powered applications such as

sensors, asset tracking, etc. The status LEDs and

jumpers enable rapid prototyping and integrating into

existing systems.

The RN-174 is based on the Roving Networks RN-171

WiFly-GSX module. The WiFly GSX module

incorporates a 2.4GHz radio, processor, full TCP/IP

stack, real-time clock, FTP, DHCP, DNS and HTML

client protocols. The RN-171G is the smallest, lowest

power 802.11 b/g module available. The module

supports adhoc and enterprise networking.

Additionally, the analog sensor interface provides

direct connections to send temperature, acceleration

and other analog data without requiring external

microprocessor. The WiFly GSX module is

programmed and controlled with a simple ASCII

command language. Once the WiFly GSX is setup it

can automatically scan to find an access point,

associate, authenticate and connect over any Wi-Fi

network.
