WifiMCU – Development kit for IoT projects

WifiMCU is a developer kit focusing on IOT developers

WifiMCU Major features :

Connectivity:: Wifi chipset from broadcom supporting both AP and Station mode
software: Lua support
Controller: STM 32 MCU Cortex M4, 128 KB RAM, 2MB SPI Flash
Interface: 17 GPIO, 3 UART, 11 PWM

Setting up WiFiMCU :

WiFiMCU uses CP2102 to converter USB data to UART TTL data. Download CP2102 drivers from here.
WiFiMCU STUDIO is an open source develop tool for WiFiMCU. Download it from here.
WifiMCU studio is convenient way to interact with board using simple USB connection.
It has four tabs, – Basic, wifi,Filessytem, Firmware,Manual

Basic : It has 4 divisions
a) GPIO
b) UART
c) MCU
d) PWM

Testing WiFiMCU :

GPIO can be tested by sending the command which makes the led – Blue to glow
gpio.write(17,gpio.HIGH)

Connecting to wif router
cfg={ssid="yourssid",pwd="yourpasswd"} wifi.startsta(cfg)

Then send another command to know the ip address of wifi mcu
print(wifi.sta.getip())
