My opinion after some time struggling with WIMAX with a real DSP core (2.4GHz): WIFI with a PIC at 54Mbps 802.11b/g =3D zero chances if the transciever hardware is not doing everything and the PIC almost nothing. Doing Zigbee at slow speed with a PIC have 100% chance if a good transciever chip is chosen. greetings, Vasile Well...the project in discussion is for a large greenhouse facility and monitoring temps and other stuff. I suggested something like zigbee or even Lynx type RF, but he thinks that WiFi would be an option since he wants a web based interface to monitor and control. > > Anyone ever come across a 802.11b/g simple interface? I am thinking tha= t there is alot of overhead involved to setup each node with its IP address= , etc. The interface from the PIC can be serial of some flavor, but I need= the solution to be cheap and robust as well. > > > --------------------------------- > Love cheap thrills?
