Introduction

The wireless programming module (WPM) is designed for wireless upload skectch/codes to Arduino. With up-to 5 meters range, you can bring your laptop and do a wireless programming for your already deployed Arduino based devices which is hard to open. Cut the wire, and try this superb communication module.

This module can also be used as a standard bidirectional wireless communication module with up to 20 meters range and 115200 bps speed(line in sight). When uses as communication modules, it exchanges data as a transparent serial port. Only Tx/Rx will be required to do the transmission.

Application with an Arduino board

1.When using WPMs to upload code for your remote Arduino processor,you need a pair of this module.

2.As the Arduino board does not have to connect with PC, so do not forget external power supply, such as some batteries.

Setting for the WPM

Test Code

Upload this code into the UNO board when the configuration and connection have been finished.

const int ledPin =  13;      // the number of the LED pin

// Variables will change:
int ledState = LOW;             // ledState used to set the LED
long previousMillis = 0;        // will store last time LED was updated

long interval = 1000;           // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)

void setup() {
  // set the digital pin as output:
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();

  if(currentMillis - previousMillis > interval) {
    // save the last time you blinked the LED
    previousMillis = currentMillis;

    // if the LED is off turn it on and vice-versa:
    if (ledState == LOW)
      ledState = HIGH;
    else
      ledState = LOW;

    // set the LED with the ledState of the variable:
    digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);
  }
}

Compatibility

NOTE: This module is not compatible with Mega 2560

Appendix

Register

The WPM has a 11 registers to hold parameters.

Register Address Name
1 Baud Rate
2 Baud Rate
3 Baud Rate
4 Address Register
5 Address Register
6 Address Register
7 Address Register

Advanced Settings

To program various Arduino boards, the baud rate need to be set to match the proper Arduino board before wireless programming.

For example, the Arduino UNO has 115200bps programming baud rate while the Arduino Mega 1280 has 57600bps programming baud rate.
