CCS/CC3100BOOST: Getting started; Retrieving ADC data from PC

Part Number: CC3100BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC31XXEMUBOOST, EK-TM4C123GXL, EK-TM4C1294XL, CC3100

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello all,

I recently bought a CC3100BOOST and a CC31XXEMUBOOST to learn more and implement some functions on both Tiva EK-TM4C123GXL and EK-TM4C1294XL. I think I'm missing some point, because it's too hard for me to understand this thing (CC3100), the only programs I made it work was the Station and AP examples. I also tried the cc3100_http_server example for the Tiva 1294, but I can't seem to understand what's going on. Extensive researches didn't prove useful.

Any help on how I could understand this device and use it for sending ADC data (or any UART, random type of data), and send it to the internet or smartphone directly so I can retrieve the data by any means and save it on a .txt or excel file? I'm feeling like the first time I dealt with Tiva, if not worse (at least Tiva has plenty of examples).

Thanks!

    Hi Helder,

    Normally you should use the wlan station and wlan ap example programs with Tiva Boards as starting point for your project. You can learn CC3100 based projects in the internet (e.g hackster.io). You can also check my EK-TM4C1294XL + CC3100 BP project at my blog at signature below

    Also, I suggest you read the CC3100 related documentations to get more familiarity with tools and simplelink API's.

    Hi Markel,

    It's still difficult for me, I've already read the documentations (I believe the SDK has many examples). I forgot to mention that I'm completely new to WiFi, might be the main cause of my lack of knowledge. And many examples involves the device configured in station mode, I just want to send data in AP mode, basically ADC data for plotting a graph. Once I've connected to AP, I'm not sure what to do next.

    I'm feeling I took a step too far...
