Materials

  • Ameba x 1

Example

In this example, we connect Ameba to WiFi and use Ameba as server to send message to connected client.
First, open “File” -> “Examples” -> “AmebaWiFi” -> “WiFiWebServer”

Upload the code, and press the reset button on Ameba. When Ameba is connected to WiFi, Ameba starts to run as server. The IP of the server is the same as Ameba, and port is 80.

We connect to the server in a browser, and we can see the data sent from the server.
