WINC1500 Power Profiling Demo with SAMD21 XPlained Pro Documentation

Introduction

This example demonstrates the power profiling of WINC15x0 using SAMD21 as Host MCU. It demonstrates how switch to various low power modes of WINC and measure the power consumed
It uses the following hardware:

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

Main Files

• main.c : Configure and switch the WINC to various low power modes.

Usage

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

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

2. Configure below code in the main.h for for configuring server information.

   *    #define TEST_SSL_TCP_IP        "192.168.1.122"   
   *    #define TEST_SSL_SERVER_PORT   443             
   *    #define TEST_TCP_SERVER_PORT   6666    
   * 

3. Build the program and download it into the board.
4. 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
   * 

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