how to get cc3000 connection status

Hello,

I want to know that, can I get connection status on CC3000? I got connection status for connection to AP but I couldn't do that for internet connection status.

Thanks.

Turan

    Hi Turan,

    Do you mean you want to know if you've got a DHCP lease, i.e. You've got an IP address?

    If so, the method you want would be `netapp_ipconfig`in netapp.h. But this will only tell you if you've been given an IP address by your router/ap/gateway (assuming your network is DHCP configured).

    If you want to know if you're ACTUALLY connected to the internet, you will have to send some data to a known server and see if you get a response. I would suggest you do a ping. To do this, take a look at the method `netapp_ping_send` in netapp.h

    Your CC3000 won't know if its really connected to the internet or not - nor would any other network connected device. You have to contact a server on the internet (open a socket, or ping) in order to validate that you have a good connection.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Turan,

    There are no APIs or events to provide you with the internet connection status. You would have to implement this logic on the host.
