BlackWidow 1.0
From AsyncLabs Documentation
The BlackWidow is an Arduino Duemilanove compatible clone that has WiFi connectivity baked directly onto the board. It is best suited for low data rate applications, such as simple control and sensor applications like temperature readings.

- 802.11b 1 and 2 Mbps WiFi connectivity
- On-board PCB antenna
- Switchable interrupt between INT0 and digital pin 8
- Supports infrastructure mode (BSS) and adhoc (IBSS) network modes
- Ability to connect to secured WiFi networks
- WEP (64-bit and 128-bit)
- WPA/WPA2 (TKIP and AES) PSK
- LED attached to digital pin 9 used to indicate a successful wireless connection
[1]: For WiFi usage, a minimum of 5 digital pins are required: 4 for SPI and 1 for interrupt. The interrupt is switchable between digital pin 8 and digital pin 2. The SPI bus can be shared with other SPI devices, but the CS pin cannot be modified from pin 10. Your other SPI device must have a switchable SPI CS pin, or a hardware modification needs to be performed.
