Definition at line 407 of file Wifly.cpp.

bool reboot (  )

Reboot the wifi module.

Definition at line 359 of file Wifly.cpp.

void reset (  )

Reset the wifi module.

Definition at line 351 of file Wifly.cpp.

int send ( const char *  str,
int  len,
const char *  ACK = NULL,
char *  res = NULL,
int  timeout = DEFAULT_WAIT_RESP_TIMEOUT 
)

Send a string to the wifi module by serial port.

This function desactivates the user interrupt handler when a character is received to analyze the response from the wifi module. Useful to send a command to the module and wait a response.

Parameters:
strstring to be sent
lenstring length
ACKstring which must be acknowledge by the wifi module. If ACK == NULL, no string has to be acknoledged. (default: "NO")
resthis field will contain the response from the wifi module, result of a command sent. This field is available only if ACK = "NO" AND res != NULL (default: NULL)
Returns:
true if ACK has been found in the response from the wifi module. False otherwise or if there is no response in 5s.

Definition at line 441 of file Wifly.cpp.

bool sendCommand ( const char *  cmd,
const char *  ack = NULL,
char *  res = NULL,
int  timeout = DEFAULT_WAIT_RESP_TIMEOUT 
)

Send a command to the wify module.

Check if the module is in command mode. If not enter in command mode

Parameters:
strstring to be sent
ACKstring which must be acknowledge by the wifi module. If ACK == NULL, no string has to be acknoledged. (default: "NO")
resthis field will contain the response from the wifi module, result of a command sent. This field is available only if ACK = "NO" AND res != NULL (default: NULL)
Returns:
true if successful

Definition at line 302 of file Wifly.cpp.

bool setProtocol ( Protocol  p )

Set the protocol (UDP or TCP)

Parameters:
pprotocol
Returns:
true if successful

Definition at line 175 of file Wifly.cpp.

int writeable (  )

Check if characters are available.

Returns:
number of available characters

Definition at line 412 of file Wifly.cpp.
