I was trying to connect MOD WIFI(MRF24WB0MA) with PIC WEB (Rev C.) via the UEXT.
I am using Microchip TCPIP Stack 5.42 modified by OLIMEX for PIC WEB.
Sadly I found board's uext connections doesn't support "MOD WIFI" natively as the 5 pin of UEXT on board is connected to pin RE0 of PORT E but to support MOD WIFI this shall be connected to any of the external interrupt pins (which are PORTB[3:0]). I request you guys to mention this in userguide!
So connected MOD WIFI with female to female headers at following pins
MOD WIFI - PIC WEB
1 (VCC) - 1 of UEXT(VCC)
2 (GND) - 2 of UEXT(GND)
3 (UART RXD) - left unconnected
4 (UART TXD) - left unconnected
5 (INT) - pin 12 of EXT (INT1/RB1) // external interrupt
6 (RST) - pin 13 of EXT (RB2)
7 (MISO) - 7 of UEXT
8 (MOSI) - 8 of UEXT
9 (SCK) - 9 of UEXT
10 (CS) - 10 of UEXT
I also disabled the EEPROM (U4) as my webpages were very small.
allover I made following changes to file "HWP OLIMEX_PIC-WEB.h"
at line No. 204 added -
// MRF24W Wi-Fi

#define WF_SPI_IP (IPR1bits.SSPIP)
at line no. 246 (commented out EEPROM)
[code[
//#define EEPROM_CS_TRIS (TRISFbits.TRISF7)[/code]
I also disabled modules as according to my need in TCPIP configuration file.
My problem I cannot connect to my WIFI access point. As I haven't done any changes to TCPIPStack code, can any body guide me in figuring out where can the problem be. Am I making some connection error?
How to I debug/check if there is any configuration error?
Please help.
Hey codenamemessiah,
There is now a demo for PIC-WEB and MOD-WIFI available at the PIC-WEB revision C web-page.
Direct link to the example: https://www.olimex.com/Products/PIC/Development/PIC-WEB/resources/PIC_WEB_MOD_WIFI_5_42.zip (https://www.olimex.com/Products/PIC/Development/PIC-WEB/resources/PIC_WEB_MOD_WIFI_5_42.zip)
Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX
Thanks a lot!
But does it example require connecting the interrupt pin on MOD Wifi to the port B pins,or will the UEXT connection suffice. I assume it is I have to make the connections explicitly from INT pin to any pin on PORT B [3:0] .
Please correct if I am wrong!
Regards
Yes, you have to make this connection. It is described inside the README.txt in the demo zip.
