JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 1 # Easy Connect - Easily add all supported connectivity methods to your mbed OS project
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 2
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 3 Often you want to give users of your application the choice to switch between connectivity methods. The
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 4 `NetworkInterface` API makes this easy, but you'll still need a mechanism for the user to chooce the method,
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 5 throw in some `#define`'s, etc. Easy Connect handles all this for you. Just declare the desired connectivity
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 6 method in your `mbed_app.json` file, and call `easy_connect()` from your application.

JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 8 ## Specifying connectivity method
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 9
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 10 Add the following to your ``mbed_app.json`` file:

JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 70 If you use `MESH_LOWPAN_ND` or `MESH_THREAD` you will need to specify your radio module:
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 71
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 72 ```json
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 73 "config": {

JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 85 ## Using Easy Connect from your application
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 86
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 87 Easy Connect has just one function which will either return a `NetworkInterface`-pointer or `NULL`:
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 88
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 89 ```cpp
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 90 #include "easy-connect.h"
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 91
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 92 int main(int, char**) {
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 93 NetworkInterface* network = easy_connect(true); /* has 1 argument, enable_logging (pass in true to log to serial port) */
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 94 if (!network) {
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 95 printf("Connecting to the network failed... See serial output.\r\n");
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 96 return 1;
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 97 }
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 98
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 99 // Rest of your program
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 100 }
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 101 ```
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 102 ## CR/LF in serial output
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 103
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 104 If you want to avoid using `\r\n` in your printouts and just use normal C-style `\n` instead, please specify these to your `mbed_app.json`
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 105
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 106 ```json
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 107 "target_overrides": {
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 108 "*": {
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 109 "platform.stdio-baud-rate": 115200,
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 110 "platform.stdio-convert-newlines": true
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 111 }
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 112 }
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 113 ```

JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 115 ## Extra defines
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 116
JMF 0:2563b0415d1f 117 If you'd like to use Easy Connect with mbed Client then you're in luck. Easy Connect automatically defines the `MBED_SERVER_ADDRESS` macro depending on your connectivity method (either IPv4 or IPv6 address). Use this address to connect to the right instance of mbed Device Connector.
