CODESYS with Edimax EW-7811UN on Raspberry PI

Up to this point I have been using wired ethernet, tonight I decided to try with a wireless adapter.

First I followed the instructions here to get the Raspberry PI on my home network. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/

Then I tried scanning for the device from CODESYS with no luck. I couldn’t ping the Raspberry PI from my PC, until I pinged the PC from the Raspberry PI. I suspected the Green power saving features of the Edimax adapter.

A quick google found https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61665 I followed the instructions, and created a file /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf with the following content

# Disable power management
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

and then rebooted.

Having rebooted a Scan Network… from CODESYS found the device.
