WINC1500 Locate IP Address Example for SAML21 XPlained Pro B Documentation

Introduction

This example demonstrates the use of the WINC1500 with the SAMD21 Xplained Pro board to get GPS position from the network provider IP address using a thirdparty HTTP server.
It uses the following hardware:

• the SAMD21 Xplained Pro.
• the WINC1500 on EXT1.

Main Files

• main.c : Initialize the WINC1500 and trigger HTTP request.

Usage

1. Configure below code in the main.h for AP information to be connected.

   *    #define MAIN_WLAN_SSID                  "DEMO_AP"
   *    #define MAIN_WLAN_AUTH                  M2M_WIFI_SEC_WPA_PSK
   *    #define MAIN_WLAN_PSK                   "12345678"
   * 

2. Build the program and download it into the board.
3. On the computer, open and configure a terminal application as the follows.

   *    Baud Rate : 115200
   *    Data : 8bit
   *    Parity bit : none
   *    Stop bit : 1bit
   *    Flow control : none
   * 

4. Start the application.
5. In the terminal window, the following text should appear:

   *    -- WINC1500 locate IP address example --
   *    -- SAMD21_XPLAINED_PRO --
   *    -- Compiled: xxx xx xxxx xx:xx:xx --
