Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2500, SIMPLICITI

How does one go about adding an RF stack on the CC2500 radio? I have the EZ430-CC200 energy harvesting kit. It currently has SimipliciTI, is that removable? And can it be replaced by a Wi-Fi stack?

    Krithik,

    You are comparing apples and oranges here. WiFi is a completely different type of radio then what is in the cc2500. The cc2500 a proprietary radio meant for in low power and lower data rate applications.  Simpliciti is just a set of software API's that are put togethor to enable a star network to be put togethor.

    Wifi is available on the 2.4g spectrum, but requires a much more advanced radio, along with an OS of some sort to manage the stack and the connection.

    You can put togethor a CC2500 network for very low cost, where as a wifi implimentation is more complicated and more costly.
