LM3S8962 - Wireless Capability

Hello,
I have a Stellaris LM3S8962 evaluation board that I am looking to use for a project.
However, I was wondering how I can acheive wireless connectivity with the board?
I have seen a few WIFI modules that utilise the UART, but am unsure as to what one to get, etc.
Also what transfer rate is possible with these modules, can I transfer a live video feed?
If not, what is more suitable?
Many Regards,

Hi mkenneday, 
There is an example showing serial communication at: 
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\lvemb\ARM\LM3S8962\Serial
I noticed you also posted over on the TI forums and they pointed you towards a different development platform for compatable wireless modules: 
http://www.ti.com/tool/DK-LM3S9B96
This means you will also have to port your code to a custom hardware target, as explained in this tutorial and the labview help.
Your question on streaming rates can be estimated by using some basic math. If you can sustain a baud rate of 115200 you will be able to stream .144MB/s. From wikipedia, it looks like the rates needed for video are generally on the order of 1MB/s. This means that you will need to use a higher baud rate, which can be unstable. The wireless module you choose will also need to be able to keep up with the rates needed. 
My first impression of this system is that it might be possible to build but it will not be simple. A better bet might be trying to simplify the system. Particularly if you can eliminate the video aspect and stream some other form of sensor I think it would be much easier to build.

  • Adding wireless capability to HP Laserjet Pro M1536DNF

    I presently have an Hp Laserjet 3052 to which I do not believe I can add wireless capability.
    I am considering a Laserjet  M1535DNF. The spec sheet says that wireless can be added by using a separate
    accessory. Is this a reasonable purchase if I must have wireless capability?

    I figured it out.  I bought this printer specifically because the Apple web site said it was compatible to print with the iPad.  Well, it is if you connect it by ethernet to a router that is connected to a wireless router.  That's the only way you'll get it to print with AirPrint.  After hours of mucking around, I finally got it to work and the ONLY way is what I've described, at least right now.  And the wireless router must be on the same network as the one accessed by your iPad.  It is great to be able to print from the iPad. Good luck.  Sudsbrew

  • Connecting an iMac without wireless capability to wireless network

    Hi, Having Fios installed with a wireless router, but the router will be downstairs now, the old iMac will be on the second floor. How can I connect this old iMac to the network now? Also, there is a printer upstairs that is not wireless capable. Is there a solution that can make this printer accessible to the other wireless computers on the network? (We have a couple of MacBooks that will be connected to the wireless network.) Thanks for help anyone can provide.

    You could get the appropriate Apple internal wireless card for your iMac. Then you could connect the printer to your iMac and enable printer sharing on that iMac. Then any device connected to your network would be able to use that printer.
    On your iMac, go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac". What speed does it list for the processor?
    If the processor speed is 700 or 800 MHz, you would need the original 802.11b AirPort card. That is the only card which is compatible.
    If the processor speed is 1 GHz or higher, you would need the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme card.

  • Fix for Wireless Capability Turned Off

    If you have lost your wireless connection (Wi-Fi) and pressing the wireles button on your laptop doesn't fix it, do this:
    Download and install HP Connection Manager.
    After 8 hours of screwing with this I am so happy to report my Wi-Fi has been turned back on.  The antenna button did not work.  It only turned the Bluetooth on and off.  My wireless connection had a red X on it and the troubleshooter told me straight up that my "Wireless capability is turned off", but gave me no way to turn it back on.  In Windows Mobility Center the Wireless Network clearly showed it was off, but the button to turn it on was greyed out.  I updated the BIOS and wireles drivers, but that did nothing.  Then I downloaded and installed HP Connection Manager and rebooted.  I opened up HP CM and there was a button that showed the wireless was off.  I pushed it and the wireless turned on.  That easy.  Or rather, after hours and hours of pain, it turned on.  My next step would have been to go through the BIOS to see if somehow from there the Wi-Fi had been disabled, but I did not need to go that far.
    Good luck people.  Hopefully this thread will save you some time.

    Hi there @MUKESHCP,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that your wireless connection is no longer working for you for a day or so. I am happy to help with this.
    Just to be clear, the WLAN connection was working prior to you installing the Bluetooth driver, or am I misunderstanding? If it was working  just prior to your Bluetooth install, then it would be worth your while, to try a system restore to a point just before you installed that driver, and see if the WLAN is working again.
    Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    If that does not help then I would recommend downloading the driver for your WLAN adapter from the support page for your notebook: HP Pavilion dv3536tx Entertainment Notebook PC - Software & Drivers
    There are two drivers available for Windows 7, and if you are not sure which adapter you have, you can check within Device Manager, although it is likely it is showing as an unknown device. In that case, try each drive, one at a time and see if it helps. Also look through the following page, directly related to your problem as you described it:
    Resolving Universal WLAN, Wireless, and Wi-Fi Errors
    Between those, you should be able to resolve the Red X on the icon. If not, it is possible that the wlan adapter has become faulty. If that happens, you can either look at calling HP for a replacement part, or you can try a USB wireless adapter.
    Let me know if this helps at all.

  • Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else.No widgets work.

    Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else. No dashboard widgets work, Skype won't work. What goes?

    Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Wireless capability switch

    Greetings,
    Today when I restarted my computer after it froze, it couldn't find any wireless networks. I tried troubleshooting the problem, but the only advice I got was to turn on my wireless capability. The computer has a switch on the upper right corner of the keyboard, which light is white when I'm able to connect and orange when turned off. When I pushed this button it was orange as usual when turned off, but when I tried to turn it on, it got a strange light I've never seen before that was yellowish, like a fusion of the two normal colours. After another try with the troubleshooting, it kept telling me to turn on wireless capability. In Windows Mobility Center, I was unable to turn the wireless network connection on. The help popup told me that if I was unable to switch there, I had to switch with the hardware switch. I also checked the network adapters to see that they were enabled, and everything looked okay. I've restarted my computer a couple of times now, even started it in safe mode, but nothing seems to help.
    Is the hardware broken or do I need to update any software? Have you seen problems like this before?
    Best regards
    Johanot

    Reinstall the wireless adapter's driver. You will need to identify the wifi adapter by either entering the BIOS and getting the FCC ID on the system information page or in the Device Manager.
    Post the PCI\VEN character string here and one of us will help you or do a google search with it as the keyword. Once identified you can use the HP recovery manager in Windows to reinstall the driver. Choose the proper driver, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on install. See the example image below.

  • Trying to upgrade Thinkpad X20 for wireless capability - HELP!

    Hi, guys...I have an "old" IBM Thinkpad X20 that I'm trying to get a Wireless connection for.  I currently have Qwest Internet with my regular PC, and their Modem comes with a wireless attachment.  The USB-plugin wireless connector does work...I tried it on another PC I own.  I don't believe there's anything to load (drivers, etc)...just plug the USB Device in and that's all it takes. 
    I thought that until I decided to try it on the Thinkpad.  It seems to know the device is hooked up...but there's no recognition that's it's a wireless connector.  I'm missing something...and I think it might be that I need an IBM ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card...or something like that?  Right now, the only thing on the laptop is a 3Com 10/100 mini PCI Ethernet Adapter.
    I'm dumb as a stump when it comes to laptops...any help you can throw my way would be appreciated!  And right now the OS is Windows 2000, but I'll probably try upgrading that at a later date...
    Thanks!!!!!

    > The Modem is an Actiontec M1000 (through Qwest), and the Wireless Adapter is the W1000 (plugs in to the top of the Modem).
    It looks to me like the M1000 doesn't have native wireless capability and that the W1000 plugs into the modem in order to provide it as an access point. However your X20 doesn't have a built-inWiFi adapter. You will need to get one, either that plugs into a USB port or into a PCMCIA port. These are available inexpensively at computer stores or on eBay. Older is better to ensure that they should come with a Win2k driver. (The reason your other notebook works with WiFi is probably because newer notebooks almost always come with built-in WiFi support.)
    I found the following links on Quest's website that contain lots of information on how to configure your modem and wireless adapters.

  • WRT120N - wireless capability routinely fails and requires router reboot

    I purchased the WRT120N wireless router about a month ago and have found that the wireless capability of this unit routinely fails.  I have numerous wireless devices in our home but it's the Apple iTouches that use it most of the time.  Every day or two the wireless function just stops working and I have to rebooot the unit via the admin web page.  Then everything continues to work for a while until we notice that it has failed again.  I upgraded the router firmware to v1.0.04 and followed the instructions carefully but this made no difference.
    Searching the web revealed that this was a wide-spread and well documented problem.  Many other forum posts warn consumers to avoid buying this cheap and unreliable product.
    I am about to give up return the unit to the store I bought it from but thought I'd give one last chance to this forum to see if there was any fix or alternative.
    Please advise.  Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hi, to this topic I'd like to post my problem. so i have wrt120n wireless router, and I had a problem with connecting two computers ( one PC on cable,  other Notebook with wireless). When both computers is online, router start to reboot. Event wiever posted :
     Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0000E87303EE.  Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.  especially when trying to send a file between computers through skype.
    so that first problem, now I can't connect to internet at all. I've found almost the same problem:.
    The computer is able to connect to the router perfectly fine, but I can't get on to the internet because I'm unable to aquire an IP address from the router. Instead of giving me my 198.168.1.x IP, I'm getting a 169.254.x.x.
    But the thing is that i can't connect to router adress 192.168.1.1, I tried to reset router but still nothing. any ideas? how connect to the router?

  • Lost wireless capability on WRT54G (wired works fine)

    So at some point in the night, I lost all wireless capability on my WRT54G V8. Both my roommates computer and mine can not connect wirelessly, but through a ethernet cable it's fine. My adapter sees the network, but never gets past 'Acquiring network address'.
    I searched the forums for similar problems, but all I could find was people with brand new machines, whereas mine was working when I went to sleep, and now not so much. Oh, and I called tech support, and they were nice enough to tell me that my warranty expired two days ago, thus they can't help me for free. Fantastic.

    As you have mentioned that it was working previously, then i think you need to do is Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties.Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names from the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...Right click on Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...It will connect... Check if you are able to Browse Internet.

  • Westell Model 7500, does it have wireless capability?

    I recently got Verizon High Speed DSL which came with the Westell Model 7500 DSL Modem/ Router. I am using a wired connection, but I noticed there is a flashing Wireless light on the top of the modem.
    Does this modem have wireless capabiltiy on it's own? I tried to use my laptop to discover a connection and was unable to.
    If so, how does one password protect this connection? I do not want my neighbors stealing my bandwidth. I would also like to be able to use the wireless functionality if this modem is indeed wireless capable.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance in this matter.

    Yes, it appears to have wireless.
    #1 Log-in to the modem combo.
    #2 Go look for Wirelesss Settings.
    #3 As need be, show a screen shot from the router's screen(s).

  • Non-Wireless Capable Router/Modem for Xfinity???

    Non-Wireless Capable Router/Modem for Xfinity/Comcast???
    Apologies up front since I’m sure I have the terminology wrong, but here’s the situation:
    Currently we have a modem (or router or cable-modem, I don’t know the difference) that we rent from Xfinity/Comcast. It is a Model DHG536C, Thomson RCA. I’m pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that this doesn’t have any wireless signal emanating from it. On one side of this box is a cable TV type connector from the outside world, and on the other is an Ethernet-type cable.
    The Ethernet-type cable goes from this Comcast box to our Apple Airport Extreme. This is the 6th generation model ME918LL/A 802.11AC.  From the Airport Extreme we send internet access to Apple devices through the house, both via wireless and also cables (USB and Ethernet).
    Comcast sent us a “free” replacement modem (we rent the modem from them) a year or two ago so that we could take advantage of some new capabilities they installed on our line (don’t know specifically what they were, but possibly speedier access). However, the install was a bit of a nightmare since the replacement they sent also emitted a wireless signal and there were issues between the wireless emitted between by their new modem versus our Airport Extreme. Comcast is justifiably not renowned for their customer support, and given my lack of computer knowledge, I couldn’t figure it out. So we returned the upgrade modem and stayed with our old one.
    We are now getting requests from Comcast to throw out our old modem and install another new one. So here’s the question: can we get a modem that doesn’t emit a wireless signal, that just converts the cable signal from outside the house into an Ethernet cable that we can plug into our Airport Extreme? That way we shouldn’t run into any of the issues we had last time.
    And two related questions:
    Will this noticeably speed up our internet service? We’re actually happy with what we have right now but perhaps we are just used to it.
    Can I buy this new modem on Amazon or from Apple to bypass Comcast (to get rid of the monthly rental fee, and to get something that may have better customer support)?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    And any teaching/education about the proper name for the Comcast “box” without wireless, and our Airport Extreme would be fun as well (router, modem, cable-modem, etc).
    Thank you!

    So here’s the question: can we get a modem that doesn’t emit a wireless signal, that just converts the cable signal from outside the house into an Ethernet cable that we can plug into our Airport Extreme?
    Simple modems do exist, but the question would be whether one of them would be compatible with the Comcast service.  So, you really have a question for Comcast support here.
    The question would be whether Comcast can provide a simple modem.........like you have now.......and not a modem/router or gateway type of device, which you really don't need, since you already have a router, and just need a simple modem.
    Will this noticeably speed up our internet service? We’re actually happy with what we have right now but perhaps we are just used to it.
    Possibly, if you are already paying for faster service, but your current modem is not capable of working at higher speeds.  Again, a question for Comcast support here.
    Can I buy this new modem on Amazon or from Apple to bypass Comcast (to get rid of the monthly rental fee, and to get something that may have better customer support)?
    Possibly, if Comcast can provide you with a list of modems that will work with their service.  Apple does not make modems, so they would not be able to help on that product.

  • How do i turn on wireless capability?

    It says to turn on the wireless  capability, but i don't know how to. I tried press F12but it doesnt work. The only way i can use internet it by connecting my netsetter to the the laptop. PLEASE HELP

  • Wireless capability turn need off

    I was on line and was suddenly not able to connect. I got the message,when I ran diagnostics,that the wireless capability is turned off. This is certainly something internal to the computer or Firefox since I am currently using using the same network with my iPad.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

    Can your other applications access the internet from the same machine? If not, did you try restarting?
    Also, some laptops have a physical switch or touch sensitive button to turn the wi-fi radio off (e.g., for when you are on an airplane). You might check to make sure you haven't done that inadvertently since there may not be a way to flip that switch in software.

  • Turn on wireless capability - Satellite A660 - 18N

    Toshiba Satellite A660 - 18N
    I have used this laptop to connect to the internet via a wireless connection since I purchased the unit some 3 months ago.
    Just over a week ago the wireless connection dropped out and I have not been able to reconnect via a wireless connection, cable connection is okay.
    When I check to see what the problem is the dialogue ' Wireless communication is disalbled - Please turn on the wireless communication switch'. Another dialogue box also comes up when I trouble shoot elsewhere 'Turn on wireless capability use the switch on the front or side of the computer or function keys if available to enable wireless capability on this computer'.
    I have tried FN with F8 - but it states turn on the wireless communication switch - as far as I am aware there is no manual switch for switching wireless on/off?
    Any help would be fantastic as this has become a pain.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    For A660 series make sure that the wireless button is lit up on the media controllers (the one across the top) if it doesn't stay lit up, try to uninstall the TVAP - Toshiba value added package on the control panel, reinstall it using TOSAPINS - Toshiba application installer (go on mytoshiba folder and look for toshiba application installer), restart the laptop. Try to Fn + F8, make sure that the wireless is on and try to connect to your network
    If still not working, try to check the version of your driver. try to uninstall/reinstall, if not go ahead and update the driver.
    Check also if there's an update for the BIOS
    If it can detect the the network but cannot browse the internet try the following:
    Power cycle. (Shut down the laptop, disconnect the charger and turn it over and remove the battery. Leave the laptop for 20 secs and put the battery back)
    Boot on safe mode with networking (Tap F8 while turning on the laptop). On advanced boot option select safe mode with networking.
    Try to connect, wired and wireless -- if you can connect either with wired or wireless
    Try to go on command prompt (start, on search programs and files time in 'cmd' ) type in 'ping www.google.com' if you can get 4 replies and 0 lost. the problem is on the security settings. try to disable your firewall.
    If still not working do the system recovery.

  • Wireless capability Compaq Presario SR1950NX with Integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface

    Wireless capability available for 6-year old Compaq Presario SR1950NX desktop with "Integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface" ?  How best to do this. Wireless adapter via USB 2.0 ?  Have Time Warner's modem and my Linksys N750  router in another room, and want to use wireless printer in a third room.  Router currently serves Smart TV and a Lap Top in different rooms.

    Hi:
    Yes, the easiest thing to do is to purchase an external usb wireless adapter.
    I just got this one for my desktop.
    http://www.linksys.com/en-eu/products/adapters/AE3000
    You can read some customer reviews on the adapter at the link below.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124477
    I am very happy with mine. It connects to my Linksys E4200 router at 450 MBPS on my N only 5.0 GHz band.
    I believe that is the maximum throughput for the AE 3000 wireless adapter.
    I also like that it comes with the 3' usb extension cable and cradle to position the device for the best reception.
