Microchip has added 802.11 wireless communications to its lineup of wireless technologies for the embedded market. Microchip has a Wi-Fi PICtail development board that adds 802.11 capabilities to Microchip's development platforms for the PIC18, PIC24, PIC32, and dsPIC families of microcontrollers. The PICtail development board contains the MRF24WB0MA FCC and Wi-Fi certified module. The Wi-Fi PICtail allows a designer to quickly create a direct connection to the internet by seamlessly connecting to standard 802.11b/g access points. In managing the connection, the MRF24WB0MA module controls the MAC and baseband layers and is connected to the host MCU via an SPI port. The 8-, 16-, or 32-bit Microchip MCU that resides on the microchip development board controls the TCP/IP networking stack and runs the system application.
