Wi-Fi connectivity

Rabbit has introduced the RCM5400W RabbitCore module series that provides Wi-Fi/802.11b/g functionality which enables users to create low-cost, embedded wireless control and communications solutions for embedded control applications.

The modules mount directly onto a user-designed motherboard and act as the controlling microprocessor for the system.

The microprocessor-based series delivers the capability to integrate real-time control and Wi-Fi connectivity into a design.

It delivers the same architecture as the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor, along with additional features including hardware DMA, higher clock speeds, more I/O lines, six serial ports and more instructions to reduce code size and improve processing speed.

Key features include: integrated Wi-Fi/802.11b/g wireless connectivity; up to 39 general-purpose I/O lines configurable; small size: 37 x 72 x 13 mm.

Its design advantages include: faster development time using a fully engineered, ‘ready-to-run/ready-to-program’ microprocessor core module; easy C-language program development and debugging; complete development kit to get up and running quickly; large program memory and data storage; easily scalable for commercial deployment applications.
