The Parallax WX Wi-Fi module opens up a whole new world of interactive Internet and web features to your microcontroller and robotics projects. The 3.3 V DIP package (32420D) works well with the Propeller Activity Board WX.
What it’s about
The following tutorials will introduce you the Parallax WX Wi-Fi Module, and get it ready to work with your Propeller Activity Board (WX is strongly recommended). Then you will create web interfaces for interacting with simple Propeller-controlled pushbutton, LED, and servo circuits. New to HTML and/or JavaScript? No problem. We’ll take you through fundamentals so that you can learn to create and optimize your own custom webpages. Use the navigation below when you’re ready to get started.
