Product description: Wixel programmable wireless module
The Wixel module by Pololu is a general purpose programmable wireless system. It works at the frequency of 2.4 GHz. The programming is possible thanks to the USB interface. The heart of the module is a Texas Instruments microcontroller: CC2511F32 (24 MHz, 4KB RAM, 29KB Flash) with an integrated radio transmitter / receiver. There are also 15 input / output lines at the user's disposal, including 6 analog outputs. In order to facilitate the use of the system, the manufacturer provides auser manual.
To create a wireless connection, at least two Wixel modules are required. The board is connected to the computer by means ofthe USBA<->miniUSB B cable.
At the customer's request, we can provide an assembled system with soldered connectors. For this purpose, please leave information in the order comment. |

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