how to use the RN171XV module ?

Hello!

well,

i setup the wifly and – ok – its connected with my network, i can connect to the wifly and everything is great :slight_smile:

but how can i setup the wifly module so that i can send a string from my computer (via telnet…) to my pic 18f microcontroller (the controller is connected with the rx/tx of the wifly).

does anyone have an idea how to do this in a simple way?

it would be nice if someone could give me an advice :think:

Connect to the wifly via telnet and type something on your computer. That something will be output on TX of the wifly. Likewise something sent by the PIC to RX on the wifly will appear on your telnet window. Of course, all the baudrates have to match.

Hello and thanks for answering,

i tried to connect via telnet, put the connection was aborted, telnet can’t connect.

i configured my wifly with:

$$$

set ip host // my ip

set ip remote // i tried port number 23 (…and some unused ports,no matter wich port I’ve tried, none worked)

save

reboot

(the ports i tried are not blocked from my firewall, i checked that)

is there anything else i should configure?

The instructions in the wifly user manual work fine for me. Connect to port 2000.

thanks,

i did a factory reset and configured it once again and now everything works fine now :dance:
