Hi,

I'm a beginner at Microchip Programming and I want to design a robot that can connect to WiFi. I have the Cerebot 32MX4 Microcontroller (PIC32MX460F512L) and the PmodWiFi card (MRF24WB0MA). I have absolutely no idea where to start. I have tried downloading various code from the internet, including the TCP/IP Stack and other sample code, but it has errors compiling or has no effect on the robot. I picked these two products because they were relatively popular and I was expecting it to be a rather straightforward process. Could you please send me the link to a step-by-step tutorial that shows me how to set this up or some working sample code for the 32MX4. Currently I have a functional 32MX4 board connected to the WiFi card through the JB header. Sorry if I sound too stupid, but this is my first time doing a project like this and I have no idea what to do.

Thanks in advance for your help, Guvvy

Try going to the Nuts and Volts and Servo magazine websites and look for past articles written by Fred Eady. I think he has written several articles that use the Microchip RF modules and TCP/IP stack. He is an excellent writer.

I hope this helps.

Also look at the articles referenced in the post: Create Iphone App and Pass Data Using WIFI to ChipKit in the Software/Libraries Forum.
