Rabbit Semiconductor(R), Inc. Introduces the Wireless Control Application Kit - for Remote Monitoring and Control.


Expanding the Wireless Family of Rabbit(R)-Based Solutions

DAVIS Davis, city (1990 pop. 46,209), Yolo co., central Calif.; settled in the 1850s, inc. 1917. It is an education center with light industry; machinery, processed foods, and computer equipment are produced. The extensive Univ. , Calif. -- Rabbit Semiconductor Rabbit Semiconductor is the company which designs and sells the Rabbit family of microcontrollers and microcontroller modules. For development, it provides Dynamic C, a limited, largely incompatible dialect of C with proprietary structures for multitasking. ([R]), Inc. is proud to introduce the Wireless Control Application Kit which provides a development reference to interface a low-cost, license-free 900 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc.  or 2.4 GHz wireless data modules from Maxstream([R]) to a Rabbit-based embedded system. The system illustrates the versatility and simplicity of adding wireless connectivity to embedded applications such as remote monitoring, proximity sensor readings, wireless I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output.

I/O - Input/Output
 control, and wireless data transmission.

The Wireless Control Application Kit contains a proven low power Rabbit LP3500 single board computer, and two MaxStream([R]) RF Modules. The Rabbit LP3500 single board computer has 26 I/O, 8 analog input, 6 serial ports and a power save mode that draws less than 100oA. The 900 MHz Application Kit features the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  XCite RF modem from Maxstream, intended for US applications. The 2.4 GHz Application Kit features the extended range XStream RF modem for projects worldwide. Both modems are functional replacements to a serial cable, so developers can do away with cumbersome hard wired solutions.

Sample programs and libraries are designed for quick out-of-the box development. A Modbus master PC application allows the user to control the single board computer as a Modbus wireless slave device. In addition, the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using  Host/Client direct wired/wireless support was developed to help demonstrate how to use common protocols like HTTP HTTP
 in full HyperText Transfer Protocol

Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol.
, FTP FTP
 in full file transfer protocol

Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to
, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. , and POP3 over a wireless connection. These added protocols allow the LP3500 to serve web pages or to be able to send data to an FTP server for remote data-logging.

The price for the Wireless Control Application Kit which comes complete with all the hardware and software tools, including two MaxStream radio modules, is priced competitively at $599 for the 900 MHz version and $699 for the 2.4 GHz version. Contact your local representative or check www.rabbit.com for availability. Individual RF modules can be purchased directly from the MaxStream Corporation (www.maxstream.net).
