Wireless_Programming_Module_For_Arduino_(SKU_TEL0037)
the wireless programming module (wpm) is designed for wireless upload skectch/codes to arduino. with up-to 5 meters range, you can bring your laptop and do a wireless programming for your already deployed arduino based devices which is hard to open. cut the wire, and try this superb communication module.
This module can also be used as a standard bidirectional wireless communication module with up to 20 meters range and 115200 bps speed(line in sight). When uses as communication modules, it exchanges data as a transparent serial port. Only Tx/Rx will be required to do the transmission.

The configuration tools can be used to configure the Wireless Programming Module(WPM).
- Step 0:Set the two switches of the WPM
- Switch the WPM to config mode by switching the "Mode" to "ON" position, a blue (or red, depending on WPM Version) LED should turn on;
- Make sure the "Prog_EN" is at "ON" position.
- Step 1:Plug the WPM on the XBee Adapter
- Step 2:Connect the Xbee Adapter(V2) to the USB port of your PC via MINI USB Cable
- Step 3:Run the configuration tools on Windows.
- Step 4:Select the right serial port and baud rate (115200bps by default)
- If you do not know the baud rate, you might have to try different ones until you get a response on the right information window
- Step 5:Click button "Connect WPM",if everything is fine, the module information will be displayed in the right information window
- If you get no response try pressing the "ATENTER" and "Send" buttons on the lower right debug window
- Step 6:Select the proper Arduino board that you are intending to program.
- Step 7:Click "Apply Setting" button
- Step 8:Wait for the module to restart, once the module information(in the right window) has changed, the module is ready to do wireless programming
1.When using WPMs to upload code for your remote Arduino processor,you need a pair of this module.
2.As the Arduino board does not have to connect with PC, so do not forget external power supply, such as some batteries.
- Step 1:Please first set the two WPMs according to the Configuration steps mentioned above.
- Step 2:(Set Both WPMs first.)
- Close the software.
- Make sure to switch the "Mode" to "OFF" position.
- The "PROG_EN" switch should still at "ON" position.
- Step 3:Plug one WPM on the XBee Adapter and another on an IO Expansion Shield or Xbee shield for Arduino.
- Step 4:Stack the IO Expansion Shield on the Arduino board(Use UNO as an example.)
- Step 5:Connect the USB Adapter to your PC, and choose the right com port in the Arduino IDE.
- Step 6:Open Arduino program in the Arduino IDE and press "upload".Then the "LINK" light will blink if the communication is successful on the WPMs.
Upload this code into the UNO board when the configuration and connection have been finished.
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
// Variables will change:
int ledState = LOW; // ledState used to set the LED
long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time LED was updated
long interval = 1000; // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)
void setup() {
// set the digital pin as output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
if(currentMillis - previousMillis > interval) {
// save the last time you blinked the LED
previousMillis = currentMillis;
// if the LED is off turn it on and vice-versa:
if (ledState == LOW)
ledState = HIGH;
else
ledState = LOW;
// set the LED with the ledState of the variable:
digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);

The WPM has a 11 registers to hold parameters.
| Register Address | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Baud Rate |
| 2 | Baud Rate |
| 3 | Baud Rate |
| 4 | Address Register |
