Wi-Fi and BLE Communications
The WM2000 is a wireless device featuring integrated Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.2) interfaces.
The Wi-Fi interface is controlled via the wln. object, while the BLE interface is under the management of the bt. object.
The three important improvements to the Wi-Fi functionality of the WM2000 compared to its predecessors are:
- Support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) V1.2 using RSA keys with a maximum length of 2,048 bytes. Due to memory limitations, TLS is available on a single outgoing TCP connection.
- Wi-Fi autoconnect — optional automatic association with (connection to) specified access points (networks). When the autoconnect feature is enabled, the WM2000 will attempt to stay connected whenever possible.
- Tibbo BASIC/C code debugging via Wi-Fi (this requires autoconnect to be enabled).
The autoconnect feature, as well as Wi-Fi debugging, can be enabled and disabled through:
- The BLE console by accessing the Device Configuration Block (DCB)
- The Companion App
- Tibbo BASIC/C code
The following table lists the related DCB parameters and properties of the sys. and wln. objects:
