Simple Http Request to Retrieve Webs

Materials

Example

In this example, we use Ameba to be a web client to retrieve information from the Internet.

First, make sure the correct Ameba development board is selected in “Tools” -> “Board”

Then open “File” -> “Examples” -> “WiFi” -> “SimpleHttpRequest”

Code Reference

To get the information of a WiFi connection: Use WiFi.SSID() to get SSID of the current connected network.
Use WiFi.RSSI() to get the signal strength of the connection.
Use WiFi.localIP() to get the IP address of Ameba.
Use WiFiClient() to create a client.
Use client.connect() to connect to the IP address and port specified.
Use client.println() to print data followed by a carriage return and newline.
Use client.available() to return the number of bytes available for reading.
Use client.read() to read the next byte received from the server the client is connected to.
Use client.stop() to disconnect from the server the client is connected to.
