Wi-Fi modules can be divided into three categories: 1, general-purpose Wi-Fi modules, such as cell phones, laptops, tablet computers
brain on the USB or SDIO interface module, Wi-Fi protocol stack and driver is running in the system of Android, Windows, IOS, is the need for a very powerful CPU to complete the application;
2. Router program Wi-Fi module, typically a home router, the protocol and driver is with the help of a chip with powerful Flash and Ram resources plus Linux operating system;
3, Embedded Wi-Fi module, 32-bit microcontroller, built-in Wi-Fi driver and protocol, the interface for the general MCU interfaces such as UART and so on. Suitable for all kinds of smart home or smart hardware single product.
Like SKYLAB's WiFi modules can be roughly divided into four main categories: A. USB modules; B. UART modules; C. Router/AP modules; D. High-power AP modules. Nowadays, many manufacturers have tried to add Wi-Fi modules into TVs, air conditioners and other devices in order to build a wireless home intelligence system. The realization of APP control and docking with the cloud of Internet giants allows home appliance manufacturers to quickly and easily realize the networked intelligence of their own products and interconnect with more other appliances.
Application areas of WiFi module:
Serial port (RS232/RS485) to WiFi, TTL to WiFi;
WiFi monitoring, TCP/IP and Wi-Fi co-processor;
WiFi remote control airplanes, cars and other toys;
WiFi network radio, camera
WiFi network radio, camera, digital photo frame;
Medical instruments, data acquisition, handheld devices;
WiFi fat weighing, smart card terminals; home intelligence;
Instrumentation, equipment parameter monitoring, wireless POS machine;
Modern agriculture, military and other wireless-related secondary development applications.
