Use Ameba to retrieve information from the Internet

In this example, we use Ameba to be a web client to retrieve information from the Internet.
First, make sure the board is set to Ameba, “Tools” -> “Board” -> “Arduino Ameba”

 

 

 

Use WiFi.begin() to establish WiFi connection:

To get the information of a WiFi connection:
Use WiFi.SSID() to get SSID of the current connected network.

Use WiFi.localIP() to get the IP address of Ameba.
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiLocalIP
Use WiFiClient() to create a client.
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiClient
Use client.connect() to connect to the IP address and port specified.

Use client.println() to print data followed by a carriage return and newline.
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiClientPrintln
Use client.available() to return the number of bytes available for reading.
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiClientAvailable
Use client.read() to read the next byte received from the server the client is connected to.
