  • Page 3: Purpose

    Purpose This document covers how to demonstrate applications using the TWR-WIFI-GS1500M Tower peripheral module. The TWR-K60N512 Tower MCU module is used to communicate with the TWR- WIFI-GS1500M. This document also covers how to configure the Tower System and an iPhone to run the demos.
  • Page 4: Configure Hardware

    Configure Hardware To run the demos with the TWR-K60N512 hardware, and software projects, make certain that the jumpers and switches on the TWR-WIFI-GS1500M are in their default locations as shown below.

  • Page 7: Running The Demos

    Running the Demos This reference code shows the following two demo’s that use Limited AP mode: 1) Embedded web server demo 2) Smart Phone Demo with service discovery (Bonjour) Below are steps to run the demos (web server and iOS) on the TWR-K60N512 with the TWR-WIFI- GS1500M: STEP 1: a) Download the TWR-WIFI-GS1500M Demonstration Software and unzip.
  • Page 8 STEP 2: Web – Server Demo Power on the Tower board and the TWR-WIFI-GS1500M device acts as an AP, generates its own Wi-Fi network and runs the embedded web Server Application. The Wi-Fi network SSID will be FS_APxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is last 6 digits of your board MAC address. Connect your PC or Tablet or HandHeld device Wi-Fi client to this AP (FS_APxxxxxx) network.
  • Page 9 STEP 4: Smart Phone Demo Users may run the sensor demo using an iOS device (iPhone, iTouch or iPad) and see embedded discovery (bonjour) functionality of the TWR-WIFI-GS1500M module. Go to Apple iTUNES store and download and install the free GainSpan-Freescale Wi-Fi Sensor Application, if necessary. STEP 5: On the iOS device, enable Wi-Fi and connect to the SSID (FS_APxxxxxx) presented by the TWR board as described in Step 1.
  • Page 10 STEP 6: Toggle the LED ON/OFF button to change the 4 LED’s status on the TWR-K60N512 board. Select the accelerometer sensor and rotate the tower to see the picture and accelerometer x, y, z change with the movement of the board. Adjust the potentiometer on the TWR-K60N512 board to control the light intensity on the smartphone.
  • Page 11: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting If you are unable to communicate wirelessly from a PC to the Tower System, try the following: 1. Ensure the Tower system is assembled correctly. Each tower module has a primary and secondary card edge connector. The primary side must be connected to the Primary (or Functional in older systems) Elevator.
