Wireless SPI - any product exist?

computer guy

Hi everyone,


I am wanting to make a previously wired SPI interface wireless.

I have found a wireless transceiver with spi interface www.hoperf.com/pro/rfm12.html however am not sure if this will do the job.
Does anyone know how this can be done?


Thank you

computer guy -

Only the commands to control the interface are SPI on the device you noted. The following is more in line with what you'll need but it's not the entire solution:

In essence here is what you need to do:


SPI<=*=>RS-232<==>RS-232 Transceiver /\/\ wireless link /\/\ RS-232 Transceiver<==>RS-232<=*=>SPI

* = Converters noted above

I'm not sure how else you might do it. It's a bit of a kluge to look at.

Regards,

Bruce Bates

Thank you Bruce.


I have managed to find the product I need unfortunately no one sells it anymore.
It is called the Wavestation by Pellican.

The nRF24L01 wireless chips use SPI. Spark Fun sells modules. TI makes similar chips.

Hi Leon,

But will it just connect to an existing SPI data line and transmit what it receives?


Thank you
