2.4 Ghz MODULE

[achillis1]

Hello,

I have the following 2.4 Ghz module RFM70D ( http://telefab.fr/lab/media/datasheet/RFM70.pdf ) which works with SPI.
I did not get it to work still but I guess that is a simple communication between the module and PIC through SPI - send receive bytes through the flowcode macros.

My question is, is there any macro or other way to program into the pic routine in order for the RFM70D module to be discoverable to phones or PCs as a WIFI device?

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Andreas Achilleos

Hello Andreas,

I did not quite understood, which unit is under 3 pounds?

I think Stuart is referring to the ESP8266 Wifi module. This is what we used on our IoT board and a few other Wifi related blogs.

The RFM70 is also a fairly low cost module from the looks of it. However nowhere on the product page does it mention Wifi or 802.11 which makes me cautious that it may simply be a 2.4GHz RF module without a TCP/IP stack.

The nRF24L01 module has the same problem.

The ESP8266 does have the TCP/IP stack which makes it very attractive for the price.

Hello,

Ben you are right, the RFM70 , does not have TCP/IP stack.

However is the ESP8266 capable of being controlled by flowcode's wifi macros; but without the html part? I mean to send a byte through wifi macro(send byte) and then I would receive it to the android app that Ben created?


Thank you
