WINC1500 Connecting a Secured AP Using WPS Example for SAMW25 XPlained Pro 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.
