TI announces the CC3000 SimpleLink Wi-Fi Module boosterpack for Tiva C Series and MSP430 MCU LaunchPads.
The TI CC3000 module is a self-contained Wi-Fi solution that enables
internet connectivity for a wide variety of embedded applications. According to the datasheet, the module includes a 802.11b/g integrated radio, modem, and MAC supporting WLAN communication as a BSS station with CCK and OFDM rates from 1 to 54 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz ISM band. An embedded IPv4 TCP/IP stack is also included.
The CC3000 is available from the TI estore for $35 including shipping.
Expensive!
lol
it is way cheaper than an arduino wifi shield or any other wifi module.
The TP-link routers can compete because of the large manufacturing quiantities.
Pretty slick ~$45 for both the LaunchPad and CC3000 module
I noticed that the post states that shipping cost is included in the $35 price for this boosterpack as follows:
“The CC3000 is available from the TI estore for $35 INCLUDING SHIPPING.”
Is that right?
I checked TI’s site and could not confirm it.
