ECET 365 Week 6 Lab DeVry
Lab 6:
Interfacing to Networks
Objectives
- Compare characteristics of different wireless communications modules.
- Compare characteristics of different wireless Internet communications modules.
- Determine which modules are the most suitable for the Smart Car or Robotics project.
- Develop a preliminary design for connecting a wireless module to the Smart Car or Robotics project.
Parts List
- Robotic Car kit with visual sensors
- Freescale Tower kit with S12G128 CPU board
- PC with IDE software (e.g. CodeWarrior Development Studio V5.1)
- PC with Internet access
Introduction
- Wireless operation allows you to control your project without being connected with a wiring harness. Your textbook mentions the ZigBee system, but there are many commercial systems available. We will investigate some systems by using the Internet to find and compare systems.
- We will also consider systems that provide access to the Internet using wireless communications.
- Finally, we will determine which systems are suitable for the Smart Car or Robotics projects.

Lab Steps
STEP 1:
Procedures
- Search the Internet for wireless adaptors that can connect directly to digital ports. The adaptors should consist of a Transmitter section and a Receiver section so that two CPU boards could communicate with each other.
- Choose three wireless systems (a ZigBee system can be one of them).
- Compare the three systems in terms of
- Price;
- Ease of implementation (hardware and software);
- Data rate;
- Security;
- Latency; and
- After choosing the best system from Step C above, sketch the method you would use to connect it to your project.
- As you did for the wireless systems above, find three wireless Internet communication systems, and compare them using the elements of Step C above.
- After choosing the best system from Step E above, sketch the method that you would use to connect it to your project.
- Observations
- Write your observations of the three wireless systems in the table below:
