WINC1500 Simple Growl Example for SAML21 XPlained Pro B Documentation

Introduction

This example demonstrates the use of the WINC1500 with the SAMD21 Xplained Pro. It basically transmits a notification from the WINC1500 Wi-Fi module (based on a certain trigger) to a public remote server which in turn sends back a notification to a specific phone application.
The initiated notification from the WINC1500 device is directed to a certain subscriber on the server.
The supported applications are PROWL (for iPhone notifications) and NMA (for ANDROID notifications).
It uses the following hardware:

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

Main Files

• main.c : Initialize growl and send notification message.

This application supports sending GROWL notifications to the following servers.

1. PROWL for iOS push notifications (https://www.prowlapp.com/).
2. NMA for Android push notifications (http://www.notifymyandroid.com/).

In order to enable the GROWL application (for sending notifications), apply the following instructions.

1. Create a NMA account at http://www.notifymyandroid.com/ and create an API key. Copy the obtained key string in the file main.h in the MACRO NMA_API_KEY as the following.
2. Create a PROWL account at https://www.prowlapp.com/ and create an API key. Copy the obtained API key string in the file main.h in the MACRO PROWL_API_KEY as the following.
   #define NMA_API_KEY "f8bd3e7c9c5c10183751ab010e57d8f73494b32da73292f6"
   #define PROWL_API_KEY "117911f8a4f2935b2d84abc934be9ff77d883678"
