Product description: Programmable wireless Wixel module
Wixel module from the Pololu is a programmable wireless system of general use. It operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency. Programming is allowed by the displayed USB interface. The heart of the module is a microcontroller from the Texas Instruments: CC2511F32 (24 MHz, 4KB of RAM, 29KB of Flash) with integrated radio transmitter/receiver. At the user's disposal are also 15 I/o lines, including 6 analog outputs. To facilitate the use of the system, the manufacturer provides a user manual.
To create a wireless connection, required are at least two Wixel modules. For connecting the board with a computer using the USBA <-> miniUSB B cable.

Wixel as wireless serial port
Two modules can serve as wireless serial port and create a connection between a computer and a microcontroller located in, for example, a robot. It allows, i.a. for the distance data exchange or remote programming. The systems can be used as a communication system between robots. The speed of receiving or reading the data reaches 10KB/sec at a distance of about 15m.
