WF32: WIFI vs USB communication


Marty

Question

Should I assume that WIFI on the WF32 is just for playing around, not for a looping program that collects data for days or months?   

 

I ask because I Wrote a simple loop which blinks a few on board LEDs and then reads AI1.   Prior to the loop you can choose WIFI or USB connections.

Result: 

1)USB seems to run forever with no error.

2) WIFI runs at best an hour before it errors and ends program operation.


So I could go into my router and reserve the ip address within DHCP or move it out of DHCP and make it static.  Also can prioritize communication to this IP address. 

hope I'm not talking to myself,

Makerhub linx as I bought Labview physical computing with WF32.  All my programing will be in LABVIEW.      My house is fairly wired so I might try a USB to LAN extender, but a very reliable wireless is a good thing.  Just did't get that good  feeling with the WIFI connection.  USB is robust.       I'm new to these microcontrollers, so take that into account.

 

Thanks very much for your ear and advice.
