Chapter 1. Overview

This chapter describes the RN evaluation boards that are used for demonstrating the

capabilities of the RN131, RN171, and RN1723 modules. These RN evaluation boards

have the flexibility to connect directly to a PC or laptop through a standard USB

interface or to embedded controllers through the serial UART interface.

Refer to “Recommended Reading” for data sheet references and other resources.

Additional information is available from the Embedded Wi-Fi page on the Microchip

web site at: http://www.microchip.com/wifi.

This chapter includes the following topics:

• RN Evaluation Kit Contents and Part Numbers

• Example Code and Related Information

• RN Evaluation Kit Hardware

• RN Evaluation Board Features

• RN Evaluation Board Components

1.1

RN EVALUATION KIT CONTENTS AND PART NUMBERS

Depending on the RN evaluation kit ordered, the package contents contain one of the

following RN evaluation boards and a USB cable:

• RN131 Evaluation Kit (P/N: RN-131-EK)

• RN171 Evaluation Kit (P/N: RN-171-EK)

• RN1723 Evaluation Kit (P/N: RN-1723-EK)

1.2

EXAMPLE CODE AND RELATED INFORMATION

Example code and other related information for each RN evaluation kit can be obtained

from the Microchip web site at: http://www.microchip.com/wifi.

Note:

It is important to note that the RN131, RN171, and RN1723 Evaluation

Boards share approximately 95% of their features. Therefore, most of the

features described in this document will be common across all three plat-

forms. Throughout this document, whenever a feature or description is

common across all evaluation kits, that feature will be described collectively

as “RN evaluation kit(s)”, “RN evaluation board(s)”, or “RN module(s)”,

rather than repeating RN131/RN171/RN1723 when referring to either an

evaluation kit, evaluation board, or module.

Note:

RN module firmware can be upgraded to the latest version through an FTP

update. For additional information on FTP updates and commands, refer to

the “WiFly Command Reference, Advanced Features and Applications

User’s Guide” (DS50002230), which is available from the Microchip web

site at: http://www.microchip.com.
