WA1000 Wi-Fi board Throughput Rate
I am very interested in the new Wi-Fi product. What i need to know before making a decision to use this in a new project of our is the throughput rate.
I.E. if i want to download a file to it what is the maximum throughput rate i can send a file to it?

Oops, I think Andrew posted this under the wrong thread. Here's what he said:

Hey, finally, I got some data for all you inquiring minds :) The test averages out to approximately 90KByte/s.

So, that's the score. 90KBps.

Inappropriate?Wi-Fi is very easily affected by other radio waves in its proximity. This can be anything: It can be the way your circuit is built (noise from other components), the amount of WiFi devices sharing the same cloud, or even RF interference stemming from other factors.
The typical throughput for 802.11b WiFi (which is what the WA1000 uses) is around 4.3Mbit per second. But in real life, what you'll get really depends on your specific scenario, device and environment. This number is a mere estimation, it's not a promise.
Your own code is also a factor. For example, buffer size can dramatically effect speed (especially with UDP communications).
So -- I'm not trying to complicate the issue, but I can't make empty "marketing promises". If you have a serious project, getting a single WA1000 to test shouldn't be too much of an expense (I believe). -
Inappropriate?I understand what you are saying. and i would not hold you to a number, i just want to get a idea if the speed is high enough to warrent me even buying it.
let me ask you this , and again i wont hold you to it, but it is an easy test to perform which i could get pretty accurate results from you running the test.
start a TCP server on the WA1000, connect to it from your PC and send a file to it with a size > 3 Meg.
inside the WA1000, create a round robbin buffer to read the data. i dont know the basic code for doing that but here would be an example of what i am suggesting (mixed basic and C).
i know you dont support C, its my only way right now of explaining it.
byte temp_data[100];
byte x=0;
sub on_sock_data_arrival
//get the received data and store it in temp_data[x]
temp_data[x++] = sock_data;
if(x >= 100)
{
x=0;
}
end sub
then, when you send the file, you will be able to see the download rate, this is what i would like to know.
P.S. i send in a few e-mails about getting a WA1000, but no one has responded back to me yet. -
Inappropriate?Heya,
Just to let you know we have our guys on it. Should have some results for you soon (1 business day or so). -
Inappropriate?Great!
-
Inappropriate?ok, been a couple days now, any news on this yet ?
-
Inappropriate?any details yet ? I need to make a decision on wheather to use this product for my new design or somone else. i need to get the numbers in before i do that.
