Support for Ameba Devices (RT8711/8195) in the blynk app #385

Closed narioinc closed 6 years ago

narioinc commented 6 years ago

Hi Team

Thanks for the community effort into making the blynk project a wonderful place to test out and analyse data from iot devices.

I have a small issue where i am trying to get a Ameba device (RT8195AM board and a customer RTL8711AM board) to connect with Blynk. However the app currently doesnt show an option to add a RTL chipset based board.

Can i select Generic Board in the board selection menu and then program the RTL board with the Blynk library. I recently saw that the Blynk library supports Ameba baords so curious to try and give it a spin

Regards Naresh K

Also to test the basic functionality with a RTL8195 board, is there a sample available ?

narioinc commented 6 years ago

The board in my setup is a RAK473 Based Creator pro board based on the RTL8711AM chipset made by Rak Wireless.

Hi Team

Was able to get the RTL8711AM and RT8195AM board connected to blynk API like so:

RTL8195A[Driver]: start auth to xx:xxx:xx:xx:xx

RTL8195A[Driver]: auth success, start assoc

RTL8195A[Driver]: association success(res=7)

RTL8195A[Driver]: set pairwise key to hw: alg:4(WEP40-1 WEP104-5 TKIP-2 AES-4)

RTL8195A[Driver]: set group key to hw: alg:4(WEP40-1 WEP104-5 TKIP-2 AES-4) keyid:1

RTL8195A[Driver]: set group key to hw: alg:4(WEP40-1 WEP104-5 TKIP-2 AES-4) keyid:1

Looks good :) cant wait to try out other interesting stuff :) on the blynk platform. I had to modify the BlynkWifixxx.h to introduce a new one for the RTL8195AM I am not sure if i can send a pull request but it was relatively easy to make the changes and run it.

Thanks Team.

Glad it's working for you. Basically we do not plan to support this option in the app. Just use Generic Board. Sure you can send a pull request ;)

narioinc commented 6 years ago

Sure will do, I have some edit done to the code to keep inline with the code standard that i saw in the Blynk library. Will post the PR soon.

Thanks
