Summary / Introduction Summary / Introduction The Demo Board belongs to the product family WiMOD and is part of the WiMOD Starter Kit. It provides a basic platform for using and testing the WiMOD radio modules together with several sample applications. Thus it can be used to evaluate all WiMOD radio modules and find out their capabilities.
Functional Overview Functional Overview The WiMOD Demo Board provides several functional units and can be used to demonstrate and evaluate the different WiMOD radio modules. The desired radio module must be soldered on its specific Adapter Board (see chapter 4) which can be plugged on the Demo Board.
