How to create a wireless network with NI myRIO 1950 from a wifi key?

[karimus]

Hi NI Community!

I have a NI myRIO 1950. So it does not include wifi. I have a wifi usb key and I want to know if it is possible to create a wireless connection between the NI myRIO by connecting to PC USB port NI myRIO

Hi,

It depends on the wifi key and whether or not the drivers are available/included for the version of Linux that the myRIO uses. You might be able to get some more help on the myRIO pages on the forums (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Academic-Hardware-Products-ELVIS/bd-p/10) or on the Linux RT community pages (https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/ni-linux-real-time) as there are people there that have tried to do similar things (e.g. getting USB devices to work with the myRIO).

It should be possible but may take some tinkering in linux (at the least) or compiling of drivers (at worst) to get it to work.
