Has anyone used this device available from Sparkfun.com ?
On the robot this device connects via UART, I2C, RS485, GPIO high-speed serial I/O to the robot's controller (or maybe directly to Robotis RS485 servo bus?).
What's cool about it is that it runs a web server so you log-into the little thing with any browser and and you can configure the TCP/IP or UDP/IP tunneling parameters. So on the remote host side you just write programs to communicate with the robot via standard TCP/IP communications and on the robot, the controller or bus communicate with this little gateway in their native serial protocol.
Consumes 480ma.
Sparkfun.com sells this wifi board for $125.
