 The Digilent Pmod WiFi (Revision B) provides WiFi access through the Microchip® MRF24WG0MA Wi-Fi™ radio transceiver module. Users can communicate with the IEEE 802.11g compliant chip through SPI and achieve data rates up to 54 Mbps. The Digilent Pmod WiFi (Revision B) provides WiFi access through the Microchip® MRF24WG0MA Wi-Fi™ radio transceiver module.

-The %%Pmod WiFi%% communicates with the host board using [[pmod:communication_protocols:|SPI]]. A active low hardware reset pin [[:reference:pmod:pmodwifi:reference-manual#pinout_table|pin 8]] is provided for the host board to reset the Pmod WiFi. Additionally, an active low interrupt [[:reference:pmod:pmodwifi:reference-manual#pinout_table|pin 7]] is provided to allow the Pmod WiFi signal to the host board when data is available for the host device and to signal when the data transfer has been completed.+The %%Pmod WiFi%% communicates with the host board using [[pmod:communication_protocols:|SPI]].
