Z-World’s Wi-Fi Add-On Kits allow embedded system integra-
tors to add Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) to an existing embedded con-
trol system that uses a RabbitCore or PowerCore module based
on the Rabbit
® 3000 microprocessor. Wireless connectivity
eliminates Ethernet cables, allowing for the greater flexibility
and mobility associated with wireless embedded networks.
The Wi-Fi Add-On Kits provide an Interposer Board tailored to the footprint of your exist-
ing RabbitCore or PowerCore module, a CompactFlash Wi-Fi Board, a ribbon cable to con-
nect the Interposer Board to the CompactFlash Wi-Fi Board, a Wi-Fi CompactFlash card,
assorted mounting hardware, and two CD-ROMs, one with a Dynamic C
®
upgrade, the
other with sample programs, software, and documentation related to the Wi-Fi Add-On Kits.
The Interposer Board can be inserted between the RabbitCore or PowerCore module and
its Prototyping Board to allow you to use the sample programs and to eventually develop
your own application. You can then use the Interposer Board with your existing mother-
board to implement the Wi-Fi application you have developed, or you can add Wi-Fi capa-
bility to your motherboard based on the Interposer Board design.
Figure 1. Using an Interposer Board to Add Wi-Fi to an Existing Embedded Control System
The CompactFlash Wi-Fi Board may be located up to 3 ft (90 cm) from your embedded
control system, depending on bus loading and operating conditions, and can be chassis-
mounted in a way that the Wi-Fi CompactFlash card can be removed or replaced.
