Today we can all buy a of the shelf broudband modem on a copper wire ADSL receiving average 10 MBs with 802.11 b,g,n communicating at 40MBs (faster in case a data block is not received) .
How will I sell a wireless product that’s doing at best 1 MBs. I have a 150 MHz 32 bit ARM processor that I'm sure can handle 40MBs and networking capacities. Or we going to play with toy science projects.

You need new business relationships and not live under one big brother.
I said from the very beginning broadcom, and there is realtek and Intel too. They all sold more than billions of these chips. How many are Microchip going to sell 100,000, because they have no use but to replace blue-tooth may be. Please identify what consumer market a chip set is designed for that we can lift ourselves above science projects.

Its nice to have a list-link to a chip-set to refer to.\

UART is simply serial barely doing 1 MBs
How about USB 48 MBs or even SPI may be.

What can would you buy in a shop and use at I MBs
When you can buy 40 MBs.
Can we get past science projects and consider real world needs
Identify to me what can I build with this chip-set that you would be happy to buy it.

Grow up
Give me a chip set that's useful
I got the processor and language
I got full Ethernet and USB access.

Computers before the internet did not sell that well, as computers communicated out side of them selves they began to sell in very big numbers with many uses.
We need to communicate to meet customers needs.

The limitation is useless to me and many others
A product this slow is better for ZigBee 802.1.15 but its set out as 802.11 n


how about broadcom BCM2055 Intensi-fi® 802.11n Radio (2.4/5 GHz)
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wirele ... -Solutions

Now that is simple modem/up to date, many uses/ flexible to all sorts of customer demands

Be in need for many years to come.

Hello,

Newbie here. I bought Ready for pic(PIC18F45K22) and WIFI PlUS Click connected to it.

I am trying to connect it to a wifi network controled by router.

I connected
RST to RD3,
CTS to RD4,
RTS to RD5,
RX to RD6
TX to RD7.

Also i have 3 leds connected to PORTE(0-RED,1-YELLOW,2-GREEN) and RFID Click on PORTC( SSI_1 to RC0, SSI_0 to RC1, CS to RC2, SCK toRC3, MISO to RC4, MOSI to RC5, INT_1 to RC6, INT_0 to RC7)

WiFi is using uart and rfid is using spi.

I looked at your Ad-Hoc example but without success. Do you have mikroC code example for connecting to a network managed by router? If not could you please help me with my case or at least give me an example mikroC code similar to what i need?

That same applies for RFID since I only found example for ARM.

Thank you for your time.

The last thing is I do not want to be critical

UART is the old serial standard 1 mega bit max in perfect conditions and less in average conditions.
May be as slow as 56k dial up speeds.

Even if you get it going what can you use it for?

broadband is 13 megabit average for most

unless you have a use for slow data rates.

industrial control uses zigbee as it tries to use a separate part of the spectrum first

It is not even ideal for industrial control

So why use it.

If it had SPI or USB I would be in boots and all.

Their is a incorrect management value system with Mikro Elektroinka and Micro chip

We need Mikro Elektroinka to give the true code in pascal text and apply it to a broadcom, Intel or realtek wifi chips that we can get 54 MBs that is so common today. Imagine that with USB and Ethernet that we already have.

Happy coding and hope you find real a world application.

Hello Prsli,

please download and review HTTP demo example from Libstock:

Only the dumbest companies totally depend on one other company for support

This is not a cost effective solution to me for thousands I wish to make.
I want to manufacture and not depend on manufactures to supply.
If Micro make the board don't they make the chip for supply.

I need to pump, and I mean pump data

The broadcom wifi ac pumps 1.4 GBs of data luckily I do not need Mikro elektronika support but it would be nice if they gave it.

I'm only hear to avoid a learning curve of C

But their are C compliers out their well above Mikro elektronika handing multi processor arm chips
Difficult to manage/ program but the complier flexibility great at every turn.

Hello lexdean,

thank you for pointing this out.

Broadcom chip is interesting for applications where high speed transfer is concerned. I will pass your suggestion to development department on consideration.

please look at this page

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wirele ... -Solutions

802.11ac chip-sets are the latest technology

I like personally the
BCM43516 5G WiFi Single-Stream 802.11ac Transceiver

BCM4360 5G WiFi 3-Stream 802.11ac Gigabit Transceiver

BCM43241 2x2 MIMO Dual-Band Combo Device Supporting 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0 + HS & FM Receiver for Tablet Computers
After all just a standard 802.11 b/g/n handling 50MBs of any type is what we need.

Now to use these effectively micro controllers need to support simple set-up web pages through the Ethernet.

I do not think you understand how many sales will come to you with this sort of support.

Have you had a reply yet, Communication to such a product range by us developers must open big doors.
Even though the max communication is faster than the processor the average speed is about USB in reality. The product is cheap for production use and is cutting edge technology as its the base for 4G.

Hello,
I would like to do a simple thing but I am stock.

We have designed our GSM board with IO and with mikroBUS in order to be able to plug click board, particularely the Wifi plus click. As your example are mostly for your dev board, I need to set UART5 and other hardware differently as the example.

My question is: where can I change UART5 (instead of the one used in your example) and RST on RG3 as hardware configuration in the PIC32 wifi library?

Thanks for your help
Alex

Hi,

I believe I have answered you on the other topic.

Hello,

I'm writing you because I have "Reentrancy UART2_Write" error in my project related to "Net_Wireless_MCW1001_18" library.
It is really easy to generate this error. Just use "Net_Wireless_MCW1001_18" library functions in main thread and call "UART2_write" from interrupt.

I'm really stacked here. My project demands UART2_write function inside interrupt function and wifi interface.


I am pretty sure that there is a bug inside this library. I would be happy if someone can convince me that I was wrong.
Here is my complete project. If you comment 88th line in MyProject.c the error will magically disappear. :!: :?: :!:

I've already write about this on libstock and some from MikroElektronika Team write me back:
"You can not call any function with parameters inside interrupt routine." //quite fuzzy you would agree
