Instructions and help about Going Wireless Setting Up WifiMy Apple Newton

this is the Wi-Fi board looks very similar to yours just a couple notes this little area down here is the voltage regulator but it does is it takes the voltage battery voltage and drops it down to 3.3 volts even though the connector does have a 3.3 volt output from the Newton it can't source enough current so this allows us to regulate down the voltage from the battery directly and provide enough current for the Wi-Fi module this little Polly fuse is and just a little bit of a protection so that if something does short on the board to ground you don't have the whole battery voltage being dumped through it short you know just a little safety mechanism these pads here are meant for debugging not necessarily the easiest thing to do but you can solder individual wires to each of these this is your ground connection this is your battery voltage the other thing you can do is you can actually power the board with 6 volts so the VN and grab pins and then the reg enable you need to provide 3.3
