Direct access to zerog module on yellow jacket

Postby a2retro » Sun May 02, 2010 9:54 am

I am ready to buy a couple of yellowjackets but I wanted to be sure the zerog module could be directly accessed with out using the onboard atmel processor if desired?

Thanks

Not quite sure what you mean by "the outboard atmel processor"; is this the processor on the Arduino (e.g. YJ)? You certainly can access the ZeroG by talking SPI to it but I'm not sure how you would do this without using the Atmel processor hardwired to the ZeroG. So I guess what I am saying is that you can use all of the uIP stack/ZeroG driver provided by AsyncLabs or none of it - instead replacing the "normal" code with your own.

Sorry for the confusing post. I made an edit to it. I want to be sure I can use another processor with the yellowjacket other then the onboard processor.

Since the YZ is so tightly integrated (processor and ZeroG) you may have better luck with the WiShield which gives you easy access to the ZeroG's pins.
