WINC1500 Connecting a Secured AP Using WPS Example for SAML21 XPlained Pro B Documentation

Introduction

This example demonstrates the use of the WINC1500 with the SAMD21 Xplained Pro board to connect to AP with WPS Security.
It uses the following hardware:

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

Main Files

• main.c : Initialize the WINC1500 and connect AP using WPS.

Usage

1. Assemble the devices and connect to USB debug cable from PC.
2. 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
   * 

3. Prepare an AP that supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup(WPS)
4. To test WPS button method, Use case 1 in main function.
5. Configure below code in the main.h for WPS push button feature.

   *    #define MAIN_WPS_PUSH_BUTTON_FEATURE              "true"
   * 

6. Press WPS button at the AP. ( For more information, please refer to AP product documentation )
7. Run the application. The WINC1500 will be connected to the AP automatically without security information.
