WiFly RN-XV with PIC Microcontroller

Hi All,

After playing around with my arduino UNO, an wireless breakoutboard and a Wifly RN-XV, i now would like to hook up the Wifly to a PIC microcontroller.

To be able to put the WiFly in a breadboard i bought an [breakout board

Also, since the Wifly operates at 3.3V (power and Logic) i also purchased a [Logic Level Converter

Am i correct that i all i have to do is to hook up the RX/TX pins of the PIC to the 5V side of the converter and the 3.3V side to the RX/TX of the WiFly, or should i do something else to get this to work? (powering both sides properly offcourse)

Last night i did a quick late night test, but after telnetting into the WiFly (without problems) i didn’t see the string appear which the PIC is sending through it’s serial interface. Am i missing something here? (besides checking all connections when i get home, i don’t know how to troubleshoot any further since i don’t have a osciliscope)

Thanks!!

Why not run the PIC at 3.3 V, and dispense with the level converter?

mmm now that’s an intresting thought! time to dig up the datasheets i quess! thanks!
