Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1837,
Tool/software: Starterware
Hello everyone,
I am a Mechatronics Engineering undergrad and I am currently working on my final year design project. As a group, we are trying to obtain a user's indoor location by using trilateration equations on a smartphone that require 3 or more RSSI signals. So far, I have purchased the WL 1837 daughter card and the WL1837 SDMMC adapter board. On TI's website, it mentions that the SDMMC board can act as a standalone evaluation board but I'm confused by the total functionality of both components and whether or not I need another EVM as a host processor?
Questions:
1. As a standalone evaluation board, is the SDMMC board programmable through the USB connection? If so, where are the relevant software packages?
2. If it is not compatible, do I need another EVM such as AM335x?
3. Is there mobile software development packages that are capable of pulling near-by RSSI signals?
I want to thank everyone ahead of time. I am relatively new to electronics so I appreciate any help whatsoever!
Thank you,
Andrew
