Introduction
Features
Flyport is a revolutionary Wi-Fi module based on the open source
platform openPICUS.
• 802.11 b/g/n WIFI
Flyport is not simply a serial to Wi-Fi solution, but a smart module
with no need of an external host processor as it combines Processor • Microchip PIC 24F 16 bit
power (Microchip PIC24F 256K Flash) with Connectivity (Microchip processor
Wi-Fi certified transceiver).
• Microchip Wi-Fi Module
A wide range of wireless applications can be easily developed and run MRF24WB0MA/RM (PCB
antenna or uFL)
on Flyport with openPicus IDE and no Wi-Fi expertise is needed. The
IDE allows to focus on application as openPicus framework, which is
• openPICUS Free IDE
based on freeRTOS, manages the Wireless stack and its events.

Remappable pins is a useful feature of Microchip PIC processors that let the user can
customize the hardware configuration at runtime. It means that you can have up to 4
UARTs or up to 18 Digital I/Os. It’s possible to have up to 9 independent PWMs.
Note 1. Flyport can be powered at 3.3V OR at 5V. If the module is powered by 5V on pin 16, pin 24 is the output of
integrated LDO (max output current available:100mA).
If Flyport is powered using single 3,3V on pin 24 leave pin 16 unconnected!
Note 2. Pins 16-18-20-22-24-26 are pin to pin compatible with the Microchip PicKit programmer connector.
Note on PROGRAMMING: to make code easier D5_out becomes d5out on code, don’t use the underscore symbol.

The connector fits standard 2*13 Fe-
male pin header or with a Flat cable
IDC connector.
Note for PCB development:
1. Flyport integrated PCB antenna
version: please don’t put any com-
ponent, tracks or ground planes un-
der the antenna.
2. Flyport uFL connector: use a 50ohm
coaxial cable to connect the external
2.4Ghz antenna
