Wixel Programmable USB Wireless Module - programmable 2.4GHz radio module

Description

Programmable radio module operating at 2.4 GHz. It is based on the Texas Instruments CC2511F32 microcontroller, which has an integrated radio transceiver, 32 KB of flash memory, 4 KB of RAM and a USB interface. The user has 15 general-purpose I / O lines at his disposal, including 6 analog inputs, timers with PWM outputs and USART and SPI interfaces based on the goldpin connector with a 2.54 mm pitch, which makes the module easy to use with breadboards and prototypes.

Thanks to the miniUSB connector, the module can be used both as an adapter to a computer and as a control board in a project that uses USB communication and wireless connectivity. Wixel will also work well as a wireless serial port, e.g. for debugging applications.

The module has a built-in USB bootloader that can be used in conjunction with the free Wixel Configuration Utility software to upload custom programs or precompiled open-source applications. Advanced users can also create their own dedicated programs. The necessary tools and code examples are available in the GitHub repository.
