Another Wi-Fi module question

Post by seulater »

Will the new Wi-Fi module work with the SB70LC module ?

Though i am glad NB came out with the new Wi-Fi module, its a pricey combo to have the Wi-Fi module and a MOD5270 board.

This page suggests the 5270LC will work if it is Rev 1.6 of the board, and if an additional J2 Header is added:

It should because it uses the SPI bus and the SB70LC is similar to the Mod5270. I would check with NetBurner to be sure. It might just be that you can use the Mod5270 for easier development since there is an adapter board for it, then make it compatible with the SB70LC interface for your app.
