Würth Elektronik’s Calypso Wi-Fi FeatherWing provides designers with an easy way to integrate and/or test the functionality of their Calypso Wi-Fi modules within the familiar Adafruit Feather development environment. Perfect for use in IoT product development, the Calypso Wi-Fi FeatherWing – and Würth Elektronik’s other FeatherWings – speeds time to market with reliable sourcing for anyone choosing Würth Elektronik as a partner, thanks to a first-class global support network.
The Calypso module itself is a standalone IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and 2.4 GHz radio module that features a small form factor of 19 x 27.5 x 4 mm with an integrated smart antenna to support both protocols. An industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C makes the Calypso module suitable for a wide variety of applications, and low-power operation enables its use in battery operated designs, with <10 μA current draw in Sleep mode and <2mA current draw in Power save mode while maintaining an active network connection. The peak output power is specified at +18 dBm with a sensitivity of -92 dBm.
The Calypso module also boasts a UART-to-Wi-Fi bridge, RESTful API support, WPA3 Wi-Fi security support, and remote GPIO configuration and control. Learn more about this device on the official datasheet.
The Calypso Wi-Fi FeatherWing board offers easy access to the benefits of the Calypso Wi-Fi module, with out-of-the-box access to several commonly used network applications, including SNTP, DHPv4, DHCPv6, mDNS, HTTP(S), and MQTT, easy connectivity to smart devices, servers, and the cloud, and the ability to handle multiple nodes simultaneously. Full details can be found in the Calypso Wi-Fi FeatherWing user manual.
