This posting explains how you can acquire the position information from Geolocation server and time information from NTP server using WizFi250 & WIZwiki-W7500.
Below is the system diagram.
Hardware
You need below hardware parts :
- WIZwiki-W7500 : This is the Cortex-M0 MCU Platform board
- WizFi250-EVB : WizFi250-EVB is the evaluation board for WizFi250 Wi-Fi module. As it is compatible with Arduino, it could be used for Wi-Fi Shield for Arduino boards.
- Sensor Shield : On this sensor shied, various sensors are mounted. Just by plugging to the WIZwiki-W7500, you can test the all the peripherals of the W7500.
- SSD1306 OLED : 128 x 64 dot matrix panel
Hardware Configuration
WIZwiki-W7500 board controls the WizFi250 using UART0 RX/TX/CTS/RTS pins and SSE1306 OLED using I2C SDA/SCL pins.
Compile the example codes of WizFi250 Geolocation and NTP
You can download the example code from below link.
WizFi250 Gelocation_NTP Example
The libraries of the example are as below.
<SSD 1306 Library>
To use this SSD1306 OLED, we used the GFX Library provided by Adafruit. We also found some bugs in Display() function and sends the “Pull Request” to modify the code.
<HTTP Client>
HTTP Client library is used for transmitting or receiving the Web server request/Response messages. The example connects to the ‘ip-api.com’ server to acquire the geolocation information. If you try to connect the server with ‘ip-api.com/csv’ address, you can get the information of the country, address, latitude, longitude and Time zone in csv format.
Click below link to download the HTTP Client library.
<NTP Client>
NTP Client library acquires the UTC information from Network Time server by using UDP protocol. The example code will connect to ‘kr.pool.ntp.org’ the Korean NTP server domain.
