Question guys

Inside certain Linksys Routers they have serial ports. You can view one in the pic below. I built a project using one and connected it to a Arduino to control a RC car. Would it be possible to connect one of these to a EZ board?

Maybe this will help, maybe not, just thought I'd throw it out there.

That would probably work fine, but I think the WiSnap would be smaller and require less power. I think I'm gonna get one and try it. I still have lots of serial devices like TNC's, so it's not like I couldn't find other uses for it.

i wounder i DJ has WiFi working

The WiSnap got me to thinking (unusual I know), so I've bought a second TLG starter kit. I plan to configure both on an adhoc network, and then use one (without the USB serial adapter) on the EZB, and the second one (with the USB serial adapter) as the com port on the host computer. I think this may just work.

I should be able to easily test the setup by using both modules (with the USB serial adapters connected) and running 2 terminal programs. Properly connected, typing in one term should result in identical output in the other.

After that, start ARC, run my sketch, and I should be able to see the serial commands it's sending in the other terminal window when I manipulate the controls.

Anybody see a reason my cunning plan won't work?

My second TLG starter kit arrived today. Once I can get the damned antenna connected I'll get them both configured to create an adhoc network named botnet, assign IP's in the same subnet, and set baud rate to 9600 8N1. Connect them both to USB ports, run 2 terminal programs, and I'm hoping that typing in one terminal will result in proper output in the other and vice-versa.

good luck i hope it workes

i tried and it works

thanks will try
