What is the Ai-Thinker Ai-WB2 series?
Ai-Thinker Ai-WB2 series is a Wi-Fi&BT module developed by Shenzhen Ai-Thirhker Technology Co., LT D. The module is equipped with a BL602 chip as the core processor and supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n protocol and BLE 5.0 protocol.
The BL602 chip has a low-power 32-bit RISC CPU, 276KB RAM, and a wealth of peripheral interfaces, including SDIO, SPI, UART, I2C, IR Remote, PWM, ADC, DAC, PIR, GPIO, etc. It can be widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile devices, wearable electronic devices, smart homes, and other fields.
Advantages
The Ai-WB2 series modules support the WPA3 security protocol and themselves have higher security, preventing network malicious attacks and brute force cracking. They effectively protect users' privacy and security even when using public WiFi networks in hotels and shopping malls.
Ai-Thinker Ai-WB2 series modules continue multiple classic packaging, without the need for hardware remanufacturing, enabling quick hardware upgrades.
Provide comprehensive AT instruction usage documents and middleware development tutorials to reduce the workload of secondary development and promote the rapid listing of products. Support Xmodem protocol for remote upgrading of MCU through modules. Multiple networking modesSupported networking modes include Bluetooth, NFC, Airkiss, web pages, mini-programs, and apps. Superb compatibilityCompatible with over 320 routers and multiple brand mobile phones.
In an open environment, it can reach a transmission distance of 400 - 500 meters.
The Ai-WB2 series modules have built-in rich peripheral interfaces, including SDIO, SPI, UART, I2C, IR remote, PWM, ADC, DAC, PIR, GPIO, etc.
Passed multiple authoritative certifications such as BQB/FCC/CE/SRRC/TELC. Connectable to third-party platforms support multiple platforms such as Matter, Amazon ACK, and Alibaba Cloud.

Software Development Environment Setup
The software development environment supports three major operating systems, including Ubuntu/Linux, Windows, and Mac Os. Among them, it is recommended to use the Ubuntu operating system for development, which can get higher compilation efficiency, and the recommended version is 20.0.4, compiling through the cross-compilation tool chain; the recommended version of the Windows development environment is win7 and above, and it can be developed and compiled through the Eclipse IDE; and the Macos development environment is only supported by the download for the time being.
