Hello,
My senior design group has received our CC3200 boards and we have managed to run the simple WLAN station in the Getting Started Guide. So we have successfully connected to our campus WiFi and pinged a website to confirm they can connect to the internet.
The next step is sending simple data between the boards (we will probably start with turning on/off some onboard LEDs with the pushbuttons)
On a previous post, the Bidirectional WiFi audio application was pointed out as a good place to start. We have some concerns though (we are complete novices with wireless communication)
-We are going to need high speed switching. We plan on one LP taking in voltage/current measurements, sending them to the other LP where it passes the data to another MCU. After this MCU is done processing, it will pass a command back to its LP where it will send the command back to the first LP and it will use this to produce a PWM signal to control a buck converter. If you know anything about buck converters, the switching speed can be on the order of 100-200kHz, so will need to perform all of these actions many times per millisecond.
-Is the WiFi audio app a good place to start for this?
-We are unsure of the steps to getting the project compiled and modified to suit our needs. Its difficult to figure out which files we need to modify and which we need to leave alone.
-Is the process of getting the project set up the same as the user guide project?
-Should we take this route or look into the TCP socket example? I've also seen this referenced when setting up communication between 2 CC3200 LPs.
We are just a little lost at this point. We are probably making this more difficult than it should be because what we are wanting to do is fairly simple. We are just a little overwhelmed I guess. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
