New App for wireless modules: Connected by Panasonic Industry

With the new app Panasonic Industry presents an easy to use app for application developers that helps setting up showcases in conjunction with a number of wireless connectivity modules.

The app features overviews about the newest modules in the categories Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 802.15.4. For each module a detailed feature list can be displayed within the app and provides an outline of the properties. In the easy accessible download section the current documentations are stored including product flyers, specifications and module integration guides.

The app can be installed on a smartphone or tablet and connects to Panasonic Industry evaluation boards to gain access to following functionalities with currently four wireless modules:

1. PAN1762

• Cut-the-cable (together with Webdesktop application): Serial communication between a smartphone and laptop via Bluetooth
• Send image (together with Webdesktop application): Pictures from the smartphone gallery can be transmitted via Bluetooth to the Webdesktop application

2. PAN4620
