Ai-WB2-12F Click is a compact add-on board for easy integration into the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart home applications. This board features the Ai-WB2-12F, a WiFi and BLE module from Ai-Thinker Technology, powered by the BL602 chip supporting WiFi 802.11b/g/n and BLE 5.0 protocols.

- Type : UART type
We provide a library for the Ai-WB2-12F Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Ai-WB2-12F Click driver.
aiwb212f_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void aiwb212f_cfg_setup ( aiwb212f_cfg_t *cfg );
aiwb212f_init
Initialization function.
err_t aiwb212f_init ( aiwb212f_t *ctx, aiwb212f_cfg_t *cfg );
aiwb212f_send_cmd
Ai-WB2-12F send command function.
void aiwb212f_send_cmd ( aiwb212f_t *ctx, uint8_t *at_cmd_buf );
aiwb212f_send_cmd_with_par
Ai-WB2-12F send command with parameter function.
void aiwb212f_send_cmd_with_par ( aiwb212f_t *ctx, uint8_t *at_cmd_buf, uint8_t *param_buf );
aiwb212f_send_cmd_check
Ai-WB2-12F send command check function.
void aiwb212f_send_cmd_check ( aiwb212f_t *ctx, uint8_t *at_cmd_buf );
This example demonstrates the use of Ai-WB2-12F Click board by processing the incoming data and displaying them on the USB UART.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver, tests the communication, and after that restarts the device, and performs example configuration.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
aiwb212f_cfg_t aiwb212f_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.

aiwb212f_error_check( error_flag );
// Check communication
aiwb212f_send_cmd( &aiwb212f, AIWB212F_CMD_AT );
error_flag = aiwb212f_rsp_check( AIWB212F_RSP_OK );
aiwb212f_error_check( error_flag );
// Restart device
aiwb212f_send_cmd( &aiwb212f, AIWB212F_CMD_AT_SW_RESET );
error_flag = aiwb212f_rsp_check( AIWB212F_RSP_READY );
aiwb212f_error_check( error_flag );
aiwb212f_configure_for_example( );
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Depending on the selected demo example, it sends a TCP/UDP echo server message and receives it or creates BLE Client which receives the messages from the connected device.
void application_task ( void )
{
aiwb212f_example( );
}
We have used the BLE Scanner Android application for the BLE Example test and you can find it at the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macdom.ble.blescanner
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.AiWB212F
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
