I just received a WiFi RS21 Module with UEXT Connector. Do you have a example on how to set this up on a cobra. I have been using the WiFi-Ethernet Bridgebut am trying to use this instead.

You should be able to use SPI similar to

From the current release notes

We are right on it to release an updated SDK with more examples and details. I have been told it is done and under testing so it should only take few days.

If you like, you can try it for now but I recommend you wait as we are aware of many little issues that are fixed already in coming release.

I just received mine today. So am i to understand that i should wait a bit until the next rev of the SDK is released before i should try it ?

5

You can try it with the current SDK but it is better if you wait.

6

when it is released, will it be posted in the “Latest News” forum ?

7

Yes, better subscribe to our RSS feed

8

any guess on the release date?

There is data corruption issue and GHI is working with on RedPine on finding the issue. This can be take a day or a month, so sorry there is no set date yet but we know the urgency of this and we are trying our best.

Thanks for the honesty.

12

ok thanks

13

Any new news on this you can share ?

14

Bump,

15

I think we have it 99.9% perfect. A new SDK will be out ASAP anyways

16

If you think i should start a new post for this i will. I just did not want them to overlap.

I just looked over the docs. I wanted to make sure the correct I/O pins are set up as i dont think the demo code has the code for the cobra board. See below. I cannot find any documentation for the cable of the WiFi RS21 Module with UEXT Connector.

try
{
    //WiFi.Enable(WiFi.HardwareModule.RS9110_N_11_21_1_Compatible, SPI.SPI_module.SPI2, (Cpu.Pin)10, (Cpu.Pin)18, (Cpu.Pin)20);// FEZ Spider Socket 6
    WiFi.Enable(WiFi.HardwareModule.RS9110_N_11_21_1_Compatible, SPI.SPI_module.SPI1, (Cpu.Pin)2, (Cpu.Pin)26, (Cpu.Pin)3);//EMX DevSys
    //WiFi.Enable(WiFi.HardwareModule.RS9110_N_11_21_1_Compatible, SPI.SPI_module.SPI2, (Cpu.Pin)64 + 9, (Cpu.Pin)19, (Cpu.Pin)64 + 8);//ChipworkX DevSys
}

it is spi2 not 1

18

That code snippet was taken from the example as is. Its not showing what i am using.
I am looking to confirm what pins the module is using and what it is connected to on the UEXT connector.

19

also you will need the firmware updater supplied in the example code.
as before it needs to be SPI2 not SPI1 for the cobra

20

they are the same pins but for SPI2 on the COBRA
