Currently I'm looking into the differences between the CC3000 breakout from Adafruit and the XBee Wi-Fi module.
I made a quick comparison:
Code: Select all
+-----------------------+----------------+------------------------+
| Property | CC3000 | XBee Wi-Fi |
+-----------------------+----------------+------------------------+
| Serial Data Interface | SPI | SPI, UART |
| Frequency Band | 2.4GHz | 2.4Ghz |
| WLAN Standard | 802.11b/g | 802.11b/g/n |
| WLAN Channels | ? | 13 |
| WLAN Security | WPA, WPA2, WEP | WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WEP |
| ADC Inputs | ? | 4x 12-bit |
| Digital I/O | ? | 10x |
| IPv4 TCP/IP Stack | Yes | ? (Yes) |
| DHCP Support | Yes | Yes |
| DNS client | Yes | Yes |
+-----------------------+----------------+------------------------+
If so, which one do you prefer and why?
I'm going to use one of these modules to create an indoor positioning system.
My hardware unit needs to perform a scan (BSSIDs with RSSI or something similar) and send this information to a webservice.
Your feedback is very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Arno
