The MRF24WG0MA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a development and
demonstration board for evaluating Wi-Fi

®

 connectivity using PIC

®

 microcontrollers and

the MRF24WG0MA module.

• MRF24WG0MA Wi-Fi module with 802.11 b/g connectivity
• Daughter board supports PICtail and PICtail Plus connectors (for more 

information, see 

To get started, an Explorer 16 or PICDEM.net™ 2 development board is required.
Alternatively, a PIC32 Starter Kit with a PIC32 I/O Expansion Board can be used. With
the appropriate hardware available, download Microchip TCP/IP Stack and follow the
Getting Started chapter of the TCP/IP Stack Help.

The Microchip TCP/IP stack and other firmware examples can be downloaded with the
Microchip Application Libraries at 

. Support for the

MRF24WG0MA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is in the TCP/IP Stack version 5.42
and later (Microchip Application Libraries v2012-07-18 or later). After installation, a link
to the TCP/IP Stack Help is available in the Start Menu.

The Microchip TCP/IP stack examples are written to interface to a wireless router with
the following configuration:

SSID: MicrochipDemoAP

Channel:  1, 6, or 11

Security: Disabled

This configuration can be changed in the WF_Config.h file.
