# Title: WiFi 9 Click Board™ ## Description: The WiFi 9 Click Board™ features the PAN9420 a 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n embedded Wi-Fi module with integrated stack and API that minimizes firmware development and includes a full security suite. The module is specifically designed for highly integrated and cost-effective applications. The module includes a fully shielded case, integrated crystal oscillators, and a chip antenna. How Does The WiFi 9 Click Board™ Work? The WiFi 9 Click Board™ comes equipped with the PAN9420, a full embedded Wi-FI module from Panasonic. The module combines a high-performance CPU, high-sensitivity wireless radio, baseband processor, medium access controller, encryption unit, boot ROM with patching capability, internal SRAM, and in-system programmable flash memory. The module's integrated QSPI flash memory is available to the application for storing web content such as HTML pages or image data. Parallel support of access point and infrastructure mode allows easy setup of simultaneous Wi‑Fi connections from the module to smart devices and home network routers. The pre‑programmed Wi-Fi SoC firmware enables client (STA), micro access point (µAP), and Ad‑hoc mode (Wi-Fi Direct) applications. With the transparent mode, raw data can be sent from the UART to the air interface to smart devices, web servers, or PC applications. For working with PAN9420 module at your disposal are two data UART interfaces, one for command and another for transparent data. In order to enable simultaneous communication between the module and host MCU through one UART on mikroBUS™ socket we have added 74HC4052 multiplexer from Nexperia USA Inc. For selecting between UART0/UART1 you may use ADR pin (ADDRES): ADR pin state Module pins Selected Interface LOW TXD0/RXD0 UART0 HIGH TXD/RXD UART1 On the WiFi 9 Click Board™ several status LED's are implemented for easiest visual monitoring of the module states like MCU heartbeat, IP connectivity, Errors, WiFi connection and Booting. The PAN9420 supports Over-the-Air firmware updates. In order to make use of this feature, the customer needs to ensure that the appropriate preconditions are fulfilled and that a suitable environment is provided, particularly with regard to: Module configuration Utilization of the related module interface commands Server infrastructure and application The PAN9420 module is operated at 3.3V. Having in mind its absolute maximum ratings, it is not advisable to use the Click board™ with MCUs that use logic voltage levels up to 5V.

Additional Functions :
All additional functions such as timer initialization and default handler.
Notes :
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
The WiFi 9 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
