11 Wi-Fi Smart module

powered by openPICUS

Introduction
Flyport is a revolutionary Wi-Fi module based on the open source platform openPICUS. Flyport is not simply a serial to Wi-Fi solution, but a smart module with no need of an external host processor as it combines Processor power (Microchip PIC24F 256K Flash) with Connectivity (Microchip Wi-Fi certified transceiver). A wide range of wireless applications can be easily developed and run on Flyport with openPicus IDE and no Wi-Fi expertise is needed. The IDE allows to focus on application as openPicus framework, which is based on freeRTOS, manages the Wireless stack and its events. Flyport is available with PCB antenna or with uFL Connector to use an external antenna. Flyport provides the following services: Webserver, TCP Socket, UDP Socket, SMTP Client, SNTP Client.

Remappable pins is a useful feature of Microchip PIC processors that let the user can customize the hardware configuration at runtime. It means that you can have up to 4 UARTs or up to 18 Digital I/Os. Its possible to have up to 9 independent PWMs.
Note 1. Flyport can be powered at 3.3V OR at 5V. If the module is powered by 5V on pin 16, pin 24 is the output of integrated LDO (max output current available:100mA). If Flyport is powered using single 3,3V on pin 24 leave pin 16 unconnected! Pins 16-18-20-22-24-26 are pin to pin compatible with the Microchip PicKit programmer connector.

Note 2.

Note on PROGRAMMING: to make code easier D5_out becomes d5out on code, dont use the underscore symbol.
