The RedBearLab Wi-Fi Micro is made based on CC3200 module by Texas Instruments (TI). The target MCU is TI CC3200, the industry's first single-chipARM Cortex-M4 core MCU with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. With on-chip Wi-Fi, Internet, and robust security protocols, no prior Wi-Fi experience is required for faster development. They are offered to make you quickly produce prototypes and demos target for not only Internet of Thing (IoT) but also many other exciting and interesting projects. Such as Wi-Fi camera, Wi-Fi Audio, TFTP Client, TCP/IP OR UDP Server/Client, Http Server, XMPP Client, mDNS, etc.
Features
TI CC3200 Dual core MCU: An ARM Cortex-M4 core at 80 MHz for application and a dedicated ARM core for Wi-Fi Network Processing
Industry's first sully certified Wi-Fi module including FCC, IC, CE, ETSI, TELEC, and Wi-Fi Alliance
Easy Wi-Fi setup using TI’S Smart Config, Soft AP or WPS2
Over the Air (OTA) download application firmware from other Wi-Fi device or Internet
A lot of application examples provide by TI
TI-RTOS and Free-RTOS supported
Wide range of supply voltages and low-power consumption, less than 1uA current in hibernate mode
IoT Cloud platform integration ready including 2lemetry, Arrayent, Exosite, IBM, Temboo & Xively
You can program our boards with Arduino like syntax using Energia, an open-sourceed version of the Arduino IDE for TI MCU
This is without MK20 USB board version, if you need it, please visit Wi-Fi Micro Kit.
CC3200 Wi-Fi consists of applications microcontroller, Wi-Fi network processor, and power-management subsystems:
Applications Microcontroller Subsystem
ARM Cortex-M4 Core at 80 MHz
256KB RAM, 1MB serial flash memory with file system for user
Hardware Crypto Engine for advanced fast security, including AES, DES, 3DES, SHA2 MD5, CRC and Checksum
Up to 27 individually programmable, multiplexed GPIO pins, including a fast parallel camera interface, I2S, SD/MMC, UART, SPI, I2C, and dour-channel ADC
Wi-Fi Network Processor Subsystem
Dedicated ARM MCU, completely offloads Wi-Fi and Internet protocols from the applications microcontroller
802.11 b/g/n radio
WPA2 personal and enterprise security
Station, access point, and Wi-Fi direct modes
Powerful crypto engine for fast, secure Wi-Fi and internet connections with 256 bit AES encryption for TLS and SSL connections
SmartConfig technology, AP mode and WPS2 for easy and flexible Wi-Fi provisioning
The power-management subsystem includes integrated DC-DC converters supporting a wide range of supply voltages. This subsystem enables low-power consumption modes, such as the hibernate with RTC mode requiring less than 7uA of current.
