Using MeWifi module with mBot

#1

Greetings @tec_support ,

I am designing a swarm intelligence project and I’d like to use mBots as the robots. To do so, I need to ask the following questions:

  1. Does the MeWifi work with the mBot?
  2. In a standalone mode (program compiled and uploaded to the mBot), can the mBots communicate between themselves via a private WiFi network (192.168.1.x)?
  3. Is there any sample code demonstrating inter-mBot communication?

Thanks!

Hi Chuckmcknight,

The Me Wifi module doesn’t work with the mBot since the RJ25 ports on mBot cannot do the serial communication.

Hmm, is there any documentation for the WiFi module on the mBot that illustrates the mBot connecting to a network rather than just the dongle? If not, I’ll have to rethink the project.

Thanks!

Chuck

Hi Chuckmcknight,

The 2.4G Wireless Serial module is only used to work with the dongle for wireless program on mBot, we don’t have this documentation since it doesn’t have the function to connect a wifi network (it doesn’t have the workstation mode and there is no built in TCP/IP protocol in the chip)
Here is the link for the introduction of the 2.4G wireless serial module:http://learn.makeblock.com/en/2-4g-wireless-serial/
