Overview
WIFI232 Eval Kit is a WiFi to UART Evaluation Kit, including a convertor module WIFI232-B, and a mother board WIFI501 for testing/evaluating.
Features
What's onboard: USB to UART connector, Reload button, LED indicators, Reset button, RJ45 Ethernet connector, RS485 connector
Indicators: Power, Ready, Link, RXD, TXD, PWM
Powered from DC 5V
Provides TCP/IP host computer examples (VB / Delphi / Borland C++)
How to Use
Reload button: power up, press and hold it (>=3s) then release, to restore the module to its factory settings immediately
Ready indicator: lights up when the WiFi module starts up successfully
Link indicator: works with the WIFI232 series modules, lights up when network connection detected
PWM indicator: works with the WIFI-LPT100 module, the indicator brightness will be changed while PWM output was enabled
