How to compile for Arduino & use WiFi? #10

Closed NicksonYap closed 6 years ago

NicksonYap commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I'm new to lwm2m.

I was able to compile and upload using the pio command. Though, I'm not familiar and can't see the Arduino react.

I understand that compile-time definitions are needed, how can we change to source code for it to compile for Arduino?

Even so, I don't see any examples in both Arduino & PlatformIO to select WiFi AP & a server to connect to.

Best Regards,

Nickson

An Arduino has no fixed way of entering an IP network (there are several Arduino shields with different network modules). Common ways are via the W5100 and W5500 chip (Ethernet shield and Ethernet shield 2).

This library supports the posix network stack (linux, macOS, windows) and lwip (a lot of embedded sdks and operating systems), but I haven't written support for those two mentioned chips.

Your question about WiFi AP is confusing. I'm not aware of a WiFi shield for Arduinos.

@davidgraeff I'm sorry I forgot to mention that I was using the ESP8266

The objective of this library is to make it easy to use wakaama / lwm2m on your (embedded) devices. The commissioning of WiFi credentials and connecting to a network is not included.

In the example you will find the comment `// Wait for the network, that is where you connect to your network by whatever means. I would recommend the Wifi Manager lib. Can also be found on platformio.
