However, the serial port only outputs:

And there it hangs never outputting the ssid from globals.h

Suggestions?

Hi Tom,

The example assumes that you have the CC110L BoosterPack plugged in. If it is not plugged in then it will hang on Radio.begin(...) in the Radio tab.

If you do have it plugged in then make sure it is oriented in the right position like is show in the picture of the CC110L guide: Guide_AnarenCC110LAIRBoosterPack | Energia.

You can test all of the code without having the radio though. Simply comment out everything in setup() and then everything in loop() except the delay(100) like below.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <AIR430BoostETSI.h>
 
#define ADDRESS_LOCAL    0x0A
 
struct sensor rxPacket;
 
void setup()
{
//
//  Radio.begin(ADDRESS_LOCAL, CHANNEL_1, POWER_MAX);
//
//  while (!WiFiConnected) {
//    delay(1000);
//  }
//
//  Serial.begin(115200);
//
//  pinMode(GREEN_LED, OUTPUT);       // Use red LED to display message reception
//  digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, LOW);
}
 
 
void loop()
{
//  if (Radio.receiverOn((unsigned char*)&rxPacket, sizeof(rxPacket), 1000) > 0)
//  {
//    digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, HIGH);
//    Serial.print("FROM: ");
//    sensors[rxPacket.id].id = rxPacket.id;
//    Serial.print(sensors[rxPacket.id].id);
//    Serial.print(" Name: ");
//    strcpy(sensors[rxPacket.id].name, (char*)rxPacket.name);
//    Serial.print(sensors[rxPacket.id].name);
//    Serial.print(" VALUE: ");
//    sensors[rxPacket.id].value = rxPacket.value;
//    Serial.println(sensors[rxPacket.id].value);
//
//    digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, LOW);
//  }
 
  delay(100);
}

Success!

I made it all the way through with getting the data from water sensor to receiving an SMS text on my phone.

My last hurdle was the CC3200. I was using the Rev 3.2 board which wouldn't connect to my WiFi. Luckily I had also purchased a second CC3200 which is rev 4.1.  This board connected with the same code where rev 3.2 failed.

I went back and have tried to use UniFlash to reprogram the rev 3.2 board with an update but it fails.  Yet I know that it did function out of the box with the original WiFi connected app.  Any recommendations what I should do to either upgrade rev 3.2  or modify the code to work around the difference in the board?

Awesome to hear that you got it working and thanks for reporting back! Not sure why it fails on your 3.2 LP. I was using a 3.2 as well.

"I went back and have tried to use UniFlash to reprogram the rev 3.2 board with an update but it fails" did the uniflash service pack upgrade fail? Make sure that if you upgrade that you jumper  SOP2. Uniflash is not as smart as the Energia upload tool (cc3200prog) and expects the SOP2 jumper to be installed when you upgrade the service pack.

Also, we have a very active forum here: Energia - TivaC/CC3XXX - 43oh  that might be of use when you run into issues like this.

Thanks Robert I'll check that out   Energia - TivaC/CC3XXX - 43oh

The problem appears to be the NWP file is missing:

I found that rev 3.2 board has the CC3200HZ chip and cannot be updated with current service pack. (1.0.1.6.0-2.6.0.5)

Go to http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC32xx_Release_Notes_1.0.0  and download the CC31xx_CC32xx_Servicepack_1.0.0.1.1   Use UniFlash to update.

After that the WiFi functionality is restored.

There was another service pack  1.0.0.10.0  which has vanished from TI site. Anybody know why?

Most likely a bad patch. Try to wait or go to TI form for more information.
