| I bought a couple of 8-pin Wifi cards to connect with an Arduino board to add wifi to some Arduino projects. We'll see how that goes. Here's a photo of one of the chips:

| ==ESP8266 Chip==
| |
| | |
| This is an ESP8266 chip, which is a serial-over-wifi chip. More information about this product: http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=16958

| Manufacturer Expressif provides a nice set of pages with information/discussion/project ideas: http://bbs.espressif.com/
| |
| | |
| These are actually pretty nifty chips, much more nifty than I originally thought: you can hook up a GPIO to the chip, and have it act as a standalone chip running an application on its own.
| |
| | |
| From their page: "Our ESP8266 Wifi Module is a low-cost and easy-to-use alternative to expensive wifi shields. This module is built around a powerful onboard microprocessor that features a built-in TCP/IP stack which handles all of the heavy lifting - leaving your Arduino free to communicate using simple serial and AT commands."
| |
| | |
| ==Serial Interface to Wifi Chip==
| |
| | |
| To interface with the wifi chip via an Arduino, a Raspberry Pi, or a computer, you can use a serial connection.
| |
| | |
| The serial connection consists of four pins:
| |
| * Ground pin | |
| * Voltage pin
| |
| * RX pin
| |
| * TX pin
| |
| | |
| The RX of device 1 is hooked up to the TX of device 2, and vice-versa.
| |
| | |
| ===Useful Hardware===
| |
| | |
| You will need some hardware to talk to the wifi chip to program it. Specifically, you need a converter to turn 5V logic signals into 3.3V logic signals. You also need a separate power source for the wireless chip to ensure it can draw the full 300 mA it requires.
| |
| | |
| USB-to-Serial TTL converter:
| |
| * good for debugging via serial, doing one-off tasks via a computer
| |
| * advantages: separate power supply
| |
| * disadvantages: you can only interface with the wifi chip via the computer (but, uh, that's kind of the point of serial)
| |
| | |
| <!--
| |
| USB to serial TTL chip:
| |
| * this is necessary for you to interface with the wifi chip with any ol serial device
| |
| * advantages: allows you to use a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino
| |
| * disadvantages: may require soldering, so need to find the right board
| |
| -->
| |
| | |
| next up, we figure out how we control this thing directly from an Arduino - do you still try and send serial signals to the thing?

| ===Useful Code===
| |
| | |
| This page [http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/WiFi_Serial_Transceiver_Module] works by connecting an output signal from the Arduino to a USB-TTL serial converter chip. This signal is then sent back to the Arduino. The signal is (presumably) routed around to the Arudino's TX pin, and the Arduino's TX pin is hooked up to the Wifi chip's RX pin. Similarly, the Arduino's RX pin is hooked up to the Wifi chip's TX pin. This way, serial signals are routed through the USB-TTL converter.

| ==Arduino Wifi Project==
| |
| | |
| Project is to hook up a tiny LCD to the tiny wifi chip and make a tiny wifi monitor.
| |
| | |
| Add this to the Defcon badge, which should have a microchip that is programmable via serial as well, and could be wired up to control the LCD and tiny wifi chip.
| |
| | |
| Or, just hook it up to the battery or source of power, and have it standalone, running by itself.
| |
| | |
| Inspiration: http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/WiFi_Serial_Transceiver_Module
| |
| | |
| LCD Hardware:
| |
| * $15 tiny LCD, 128x128, 4D systems
| |
| ** 4d product page: http://www.4dsystems.com.au/product/4DLCD_144/
| |
| ** mouser: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/4D-Systems/4DLCD-144/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvrfGaWNM8PuULhtzAtzIIul0nv3rkl5n4%3d
| |
| * round LCD (too expensive)
| |
| ** mouser: round LCDs http://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?Ntk=P_MarCom&Ntt=166384143
| |
| * Large enough to be useful - https://www.adafruit.com/products/1770
| |
| ** 2.8 inch display large enough for tiny drawings, would be perfect.
| |
| | |
| USB-Serial Converter:
| |
| * USB to serial converter:
| |
| ** FTDI provides a usb-serial adapter with a jumper to set the voltage level at 3.3 or 5, depending on what you wanna do:
| |
| ** inspired by this project/page: http://williamdurand.fr/2015/03/17/playing-with-a-esp8266-wifi-module/
| |
| * USB to serial converter, other options:
| |
| ** uart sbee povides BEE connections, like the usb-to-serial BEE boards that I have for the XBees, but these also have 4-pin serial header: http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/UartSBee_V4
| |
| | |
| Once you have all those pieces, this page becomes much more useful, and tells you what serial commands to actually run:

| What about the final - logic control from Arduino, USB adapter from 5 V to 3.3 V level, etc.?

| =Morse Code Generator=
| |
| | |
| This project involves using the building blocks covered above - an LCD scren, the Arduinomorse library, and a piezoelectric speaker - to create a morse code generator with an Arduino Micro.
