If the Bluetooth module is present, check for BLUETOOTH_DEVNAME and
comment out “
#define ENABLE_OUTPUT_BT
”
If the GPS module is present, check for GPS_DEVNAME and comment out
“
#define confINCLUDE_GPS
”. Because the GPS module does not interfer
with the WiFi module’s use as a data interface, you may want to keep it
enabled to augment tag-read information with GPS information.
The LED displays on the module indicate the following states for the module:
Green LED D1 is on when there is a connection to an access point
Yellow LED D2 flashes whenever the xPRESS platform communicates with the
module.
Red LED D3 is on when there is a TCP connection through which tag information can
be transferred.
Information about the network connection can be obtained through the console interface
by entering the command: wifly-get-net-info
Typical output is shown here (for the WiFi module acting as a TCP client):
