Rabbit have introduced the new RCM5400W RabbitCore module series which provides Wi-Fi/802.11b/g functionality which enables the user to create low-cost, embedded wireless control and communications solutions for embedded control applications. Dominion Electronics represent Rabbit International in Australia and New Zealand.
The RabbitCore modules mount directly onto a user-designed motherboard and act as the controlling microprocessor for the system. Measuring only 1.84" × 2.85" × 0.55" (47mm × 72mm × 14mm), the Rabbit 5000 microprocessor-based RCM5400W series delivers the capability to integrate real-time control and Wi-Fi connectivity into the user’s design.
The Rabbit 5000 delivers the same architecture as Rabbit 4000 microprocessor, along with additional features including hardware DMA, higher clock speeds, more I/O lines, six serial ports and more instructions to reduce code size and improve processing speed.
