USB-type Wi-Fi adapter (dongle) LM808 and LM842 settings and why you dare to choose them

PiLinkTechnical

In addition to the built-in Wi-Fi function, computers can communicate wirelessly via a Wi-Fi adapter (also known as a dongle) that connects via USB.In this issue, we will introduce an example of using a non-wireless model “PL-R4” with a USB-type Wi-Fi adapter attached. The PL-R4 series of industrial-use Raspis includes a model that incorporates the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 with Wi-Fi as usual, as well as a model that is not wireless-compatible. Non-wireless models are also in demand. This is because there are some industrial sites where Wi-Fi is not or cannot be used depending on the application. The PL-R4 is wired as standard, and Wi-Fi is an optional…

Compute Module 5 is now available!

PiLinkNews

On Wednesday, November 27, 2024, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). PiLink has also ordered the CM5 and is testing it on actual devices.With its enhanced CPU performance and functions, the CM5 is expected to expand the range of industrial applications for the Raspberry Pi. Same form factor as CM4 The conventional CM4 (top photo) and CM5 (bottom photo) have the same form factor. When placed side by side, you can see that the size and shape remain the same. In the current model of PiLink’s industrial Raspberry Pi, the PL-R4 CM4 is mounted on the carry board It is also possible to switch…
