2.1 USB connectivity

2.2 WiFi connectivity

The USB-C connector is the latest upgrade of the conventional USB A/B 
type connectors, typically found on most personal computers today. The 
USB-C connector has many advantages over the USB type A/B connector 
such as the completely symmetrical design which reduces the possibility 
of  the  connector  misalignment  and  the  damage  it  might  cause,  higher 
current capability, and more. However, if there is not appropriate USB-C 
connector on the host PC, a USB-C cable adapter can be used.

The CODEGRIP device can be linked with the CODEGRIP Suite over the WiFi 
network, allowing it to program and debug the target MCU wirelessly. This 
is a revolutionary new feature, which allows some unique usage scenarios, 
currently not available on any other programming/debugging solution in 
the  world.  The  WiFi  connectivity  option  offers  a  complete  autonomy  of 
the  development  system.  Running  a  toxic  gas  sensor  application  while 
debugging the firmware in real time, programming it with a new firmware 
during exposure, having sensor responses collected and logged remotely

To use the WiFi functionality, a separate registration code is required. It 
can be bought from the official Mikroe online store 

www.mikroe.com

from several different base points, debugging drone firmware while it is in 
mid-air… This is just a simple example of what CODEGRIP can offer.

The WiFi module on the CODEGRIP device has an integrated chip antenna, 
which  allows  good  WiFi  reception.  However,  if  a  stronger  WiFi  signal  is 
required,  the  CODEGRIP  device  offers  an  SMA  connector  for  an  external 
WiFi antenna.

 

The  WiFi  link  can  be  protected  by  a  password,  or  by  the  MAC  address 
filtering option.
