TCP Server + softAP
This application uses two ACKme modules each running WiConnect, a serial API that sits on top of WICED, to demonstrate how to create a TCP server + softAP.
Module 1 is a server configured to start the softAP interface and the TCP server feature on boot up.
Module 2 is a client configured to use the wlan interface and the TCP client feature to connect to the Module 1 softAP and TCP server.
Note: The full article and others can be found here: ACKme | How can I create a TCP Server with SoftAP mode?
Module 1 - TCP Server Settings
| WiConnect Commands (Module 1) | Description |
|---|
set softap.auto_start true set softap.dhcp_server true set softap.ssid tcp_server_ap set tcp.server.auto_interface softap set tcp.server.auto_start true set tcp.server.idle_timeout 300 set tcp.server.connected_gpio 22 set tcp.server.data_gpio 21 save reboot | <- softap auto starts on reboot <- DHCP server is enabled <- Set softAP name <- TCP server uses softAP interface <- TCP server auto starts on reboot <- Don't disconnect clients quickly <- GPIO indicates client connection <- GPIO indicates data is available <- Save settings to flash <- Reboot the module |
