Data Sheet
Program the Propeller Activity Board WX
over Wi-Fi with the DIP module, and see its
remote sensor data display on your computer
in real time. This is especially useful when
preparing for robot contests because your
ActivityBot can roam in a maze and transmit
sensor data to the SimpleIDE Terminal
without the USB tether. Reprogram it without
ever removing it from the maze!
Program your microcontroller to make TCP
client connections with web pages on the
Internet to get key pieces of information for
your project. Send messages to pages
hosted by services that can trigger emails,
Twitter feeds, and more.
