Arduino as wi-spy

Former Member

Anyone who's used an arduino as a wi-spy device?

 

I have the Ethernet version, but maybe anyone with the Xbee Shield Wireless Module can let me know whether they've tried it?

  • Hi Drew,

     

    I agree, TI has both the components and the software already available to set up a WiSpy device fairly quickly.  Given some of the data complexity, you will probably want the MSP430 for this task.  The Arduino is probably not fast enough to handle some of the data rates and formats.

    I downloaded the software and bought the parts, but I have not yet had time to build and test it.  They claim it will work for both 1 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz, depending upon the RF module you use.

     

    Just a thought,
