Generic demos description¶

There are 3 files which are important:

• The main header file - the configuration file
• The init code file - init routines for specific boards
• The main code file - demo code

NOTE: The main header file contains configuration parameters for connection and the board configuration. Please set it before flashing your board.

Two boards are supported at the moment using MY_BOARD selection:

• Wi-Go
• Wifi DipCortex

#define WIGO           1
#define WIFI_DIPCORTEX 2
#define UNDEFINED      3

#define MY_BOARD WIGO

To select any other board, set UNDEFINED macro for MY_BOARD macro inside the main header file and write your own init routine inside the init code file.

To set acces point password, security and SSID name, use the following defines which are located in the main header file.

// use this defines in AP_SECURITY
#define NONE 0
#define WEP  1
#define WPA  2
#define WPA2 3

// use smart config
#define USE_SMART_CONFIG 0

 // Default SSID Settings
#define AP_KEY       "test"
#define AP_SECURITY  WPA2            // WPA2 must be enabled for use with iPhone or Android phone hotspot!
#define SSID         "test"

The hello world demo. It only connects to an access point, using DHCP and prints a message if DHCP is completed.
