8位无线开发套件

The Wireless Development Kit allows developers to evaluate and experiment with sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz RF solutions from Microchip. The Wireless Development Kit provides two RF hardware nodes which can be used to create a simple two-node wireless network. More nodes can be added by purchasing 8-Bit Wireless Development Kit or individual components.

The 8-Bit Wireless Development Kit is pre-programmed with a wireless demo program that allows multiple operational configurations to be tested without writing any firmware. It also enables customer to evaluate Microchip’s proprietary wireless stacks. The Microchip wireless stacks and additional application demo source codes can be downloaded from the Microchip web site http://www.microchip.com/wireless.

The PIC18 Wireless Development Board provides all the necessary components required to build an extreme low-power wireless sensor application.
