Wifi Remote I2c

Quick Start Guide

Hardware Setup

Hardware Setup

• Make sure that the driver for USB/UART Programming/Console Adapter (PMPROG01) is properly install and the PC is detected it as Comm Port.
• The USB/UART Bridge is base on Silicon Lab CP2012 chipset.
• USB/UART Programming/Console Adapter (PMPROG01) driver can be Download here
• Connect the USB/UART Programming/Console Adapter (PMPROG01) to the Wifi Remote I2c Device.

Setting Configuration

Termite Setup Screen

Help Command

• For windows system, you can use terminal emulator program Termite to configure the device.
• Termite can be downloaded at CompuPhase Website
• Make sure the 'Port' setting is refer to the USB/UART Programming/Console Adapter (PMPROG01)'s Virtual Comm Port.
• Follow the setting according to the setup screen capture. (57600Baud 8-N-1)
• Once Termite configuration is done, press 'OK' to save the setting.
• On the Wifi Remote I2c Device, Press the configuration button to allow the device to go into configuration mode.

Press Config Mode button to go into configuration mode

• Type 'help' to show the command available for configuration.
• Type 'show' to list out current configuration.
• We will use PineA64 as our Wifi Remote I2c module's server.
• To Set the PineA64's IP address in to the device, enter (we will be using IP address 192.168.0.230 as example)

  server 192.168.0.230

• To configure the Wifi AP SSID and Password, (eg SSID=TestingWifi and Password=12345 )

  wifi TestingWifi 12345

• The SSID and password are case sensitive. Please make sure it is input correctly.
• Once configuration is done, type 'exit' to exit configuration mode and allow the device to reboot.
• Please make sure your network is has DHCP server. The WiFi Remote i2c module will be running on DHCP mode and will requesting a IP address from your network's DHCP server.
• After reboot, the Red LED indicator will start to blink in fast blinking mode.
• Once the WiFi Remote I2c module connected to the WiFi Access Point, the LED indicator will go into slow blinking mode.
• The hardware configuration is done.
• The next step will be configure the PineWifiServer into your PineA64 board.

Setup the PineWifiServer

• Download the PineWifiServer from the Download Section
• Copy PineWifiServer xxxxxxxx.gz into your PineA64 with linux on it. (where xxxxxxxx is the version number)
• Unzip the file using gunzip.
• Add Execution flag on both of the file by

 chmod +x PineWifiServer

• Start the PineWifiServer by

 ./PineWifiServer

• Once the server is started, you will notice that the LED indicator on the Wifi Remote I2c Hardware will change from slow blinking to always on.
• To login into the server, telnet into localhost port 10000

 telnet localhost 10000

PineWifiServer Login Screen

• To show current connect Wifi Remote I2c type 'list' in small capital letter.
• To see all available command, type 'help'.
• To exit the console, type 'exit'.
• Please take note that you are only allow one login simultaneously. The second telnet login will be rejected.

Running the WifiAppDemo

• Download the PineWifiServer from the Download Section
• Copy WifiAppDemo xxxxxxxx.gz into your same PineA64 board that currently running with PineWifiServer. (where xxxxxxxx is the version number)
• Unzip both of the file using gunzip.
• Add Execution flag on both of the file by

 chmod +x WifiAppDemo

• before start running the demo application, please logout any telnet session to the PineWifiServer.
• The demo application will telnet into the PineWifiServer and start polling all the available Wifi Remote I2c device currently connected to the server.
• The demo application will also poll the I2c port of the hardware for the Ambient Light Sensor and the Temperature/Humidity Sensor if the sensor is connected to the Wifi Remote I2c module.
• To start the WifiAppDemo, type

 ./WifiAppDemo

• The Application will connect the PineWifiServer currently running in the localhost.
