The CHIPKIT WIFI SHIELD is an interface board designed for use with chip KIT line of microcontroller boards such as the Uno32, uC32, or Max32. The chip KIT line is a family of microcontroller boards based on the high performance Microchip PIC32 family of microcontrollers. This provides chip KIT microcontroller boards the ability to connect to and communicate with IEEE 802.11 compatible wireless networks. It also provides a micro SD card connector for use with micro SD flash memory cards. The chip KIT MPIDE SD library can be used to read/write files stored on the micro SD card. This shield is intended for use with the Diligent network libraries, DNETcK and DWiFicK. Depending on the production version, the chip KIT WiFi shield provides support for either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless networks. The initial production version of the WiFi shield uses the Microchip MRF24WB0MA WiFi module. Later productions versions of the WiFi shield use the improved Microchip MRF24WG0MA module.
