Ported from Avnet's Wi-Go KEIL code.
Special thanks to Jim Carver from Avnet for providing the Wi-Go board and for his assistance.


Multiple Wi-Fi applications are provided within the latest version of Wi-Go software:

  • SmartConfig App for auto-setup of Wi-Go network parameters.
  • WebServer display of live sensor data.
  • Exosite portal sensor data feed by Wi-Go.
  • Freescale's Sensor Fusion App data feed by Wi-Go.

Wi-Go is intended for "untethered" portable operation (using it's high-capacity Lithium-Polymer battery). The serial terminal text interface is only required for initial setup, thereafter selection of an application from those available is via finger position on the Touch Slider during the initial 6 second startup period.

Running the Wi-Go Demo Suite

Warning

  • We need a large amount of free RAM for the eCompass library:
    Before compiling the code, check if CC3000_MAXIMAL_RX_SIZE is set to (511 + 1) in cc3000_common.h.
  • The on-board Firmware must be updated to mbed enable a Wi-Go system. Goto the Component page to get the FirmwareUpdate tool (scroll down to the FirmwareUpdate topic).

MAG3110 sensor and eCompass Calibration!

As with the other sensor applications, the eCompass function requires quality calibration data to achieve best accuracy.
For the first 15 seconds after power-up it is recommended that "Figure 8" movements with Wi-Go be done in a smooth, repetitive pattern. Don't touch the slider pad during calibration.

Startup
The RGB LED blinks in a GREEN-ORANGE sequence to inform the user the module is waiting for input.
The RGB LED color designates which of the following Apps to launch.

RGB LED ColorApplication to Launch
PurpleSmartConfig
BlueWebServer
RedExosite Data Client
GreenAndroid Server

Swipe your index finger across the slider pad, the RGB LED color will change at approximately 25% intervals.
Removing your finger latches the last color displayed. After about 3 seconds, the selected app will start.
Another app can be selected when the slider pad is touched again within the 3 seconds timeout.

After launch of Exosite or Android Server Apps, the eCompass function then controls the RGB LED.
(not in WebServer mode where RGB LEDs are manually controlled by the User).

Detail of Wi-Go Applications

App #1: SmartConfig
See TI's pages on how to use the SmartConfig tool:

  • Preferred method : Configuration using the SmartConfig tool
  • SmartConfig download: Smart Config and Home Automation
    • iOS app : available at Apple app store.
    • Android app : download and install the Android SmartConfig Application on a PC.
      This file contains the source code as well as the compiled APK file.
      The APK file is stored in ti\CC3000AndroidApp\SmartConfigCC3X\bin.

App #2: WebServer display of live sensor data
__Note!__
When using the WebServer for the first time on a Wi-Fi network you will need to determine the IP address that's assigned to Wi-Go by the DHCP Server. To do this, it is recommended you use one of the following two methods:

  • While Wi-Go is initially tethered to a laptop via USB, launch of the WebServer Application and note the IP address that is reported on the terminal screen immediately after selection of this App.
  • Alternatively, use a 3rd party LAN SCAN type tool to view Wi-Go's IP address.
    eg. FING, - available for free download from Google Play or iTunes App Stores…

Wi-Go's WebServer Application is selected as follows:

  • Press RESET, followed by the eCompass Calibration (mentioned at the top of this page).
    Then use index finger on slider to select the WebServer App (RGB LED = BLUE).
    At end of the 3 second selection period the WebServer App shall launch.
  • If you are tethered to a laptop and have a terminal open the Wi-Fi network connection confirmation will be seen, eg.

'*** Wi-Go board DHCP assigned IP Address = 192.168.43.102
  • Once you have noted Wi-Go's reported IP address, the USB cable may be disconnected and Wi-Go then used as intended, running on it's own battery power.
  • Use an Internet Browser on SmartPhone/Tablet/Laptop (connected to same Hot-Spot/Wireless Router subnet), to now connect to the noted Wi-Go IP address and view the WebServer output: /media/uploads/frankvnk/wi-go_webserver.png
  • the Webserver sensor data is auto-updated every 2 seconds a manual refresh (F5 on laptop).
  • In the event of an error, press refresh to regenerate the screen.
  • Use the mouse (or touch-screen) to exercise the RGB LED output.

App #3: Exosite Data Client
Wi-Go's sensor data gets transmitted via Wi-Fi to a cloud-based Exosite portal where the sensor measurements are displayed graphically on a "dashboard". Users can create unique customized dashboards using drag and drop GUI widgets from the library provided on the Exosite website.
__Note!__ For the Exosite application a "live" connection to the Internet is required !!!

  • Press RESET, followed by the eCompass Calibration (mentioned at the top of this page).
    Then use index finger on slider to select the Exosite Client App (RGB LED = RED)
  • On launching this App, note Wi-Go's MAC address displayed on your terminal
    (if not running a terminal use FING or other WLAN Scan tool to determine Wi-Go's MAC address) /media/uploads/frankvnk/mac_address.png
  • Using your computer's internet browser, go to avnet.exosite.com and sign-up for a free Avnet Trial Exosite Account: /media/uploads/frankvnk/avnet_trial_exosite.png
