Having issues running the Simple WiFi application

Kasi Lakshman Karthi Anbumony

(1) I followed step (5) in this link: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Wi-Fi_MSP430_FRAM_Getting_Started_Guide

I connected my laptop to TP-LINK using WLAN card inbuilt in my laptop. Now I have limited connectivity and has the following ip address: 10.247.18.46. I assume this ip address is given by the router.

(2) In step (6) searching for TP-Link access point never succeeds when I launch the CC3000 FRAM Sensor GUI. Can I know why this fails? Any troubleshooting tips.

Thanks

    Kasi,

    By default, the TP-LINK AP shipped with the kits have an IP of 192.168.1.1. Therefore, it does not make much sense of it having a different IP unless it was changed somehow.

    Please note that this method of automatic configuraiton will work only with TP-LINK shipped in the kit.

    The GUI will search for the TP-LINK AP in 2 PLaces:

    1) It will search the default 192.168.1.1

    2) It will search x.x.x.0 and x.x.x.1, where X.X.X are the first three octets of the interface it is using. It will automatically scan all interfaces on the machine.
    If for some reason the AP is not in those addresses, it will not be found.

    You can bypass this automatic configuration as follows:

    1) Associate the CC3000 to the AP either by using the terminal command "assoc x" where X is the ssid of the AP (must be Open).

    2) Modify and download the code. demo_config.h contains the DEFAULT_OUT_OF_BOX_SSID. You can change this, and also enable security

    3) You can perform First TIme Config as described here:
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Wi-Fi_MSP430_FRAM_Getting_Started_Guide_Using_First_Time_Config

    After the CC3000 is successfully associated, it will obtain an IP address and start the server. THis will be show by LEDs 1 through 4 being lit.

    After this, start the GUI and and select Skip. The GUI will search and connect to the CC3000. Please note that the computer must be connected to the same router as the CC3000.

    Regards,
    Gustavo
