Designed to substantially reduce your time-to-market - WiConnect just got even better!
Notes for WiConnect v2.0
- This version provides higher throughput for the AMW004 module (Wallaby) - up to 10Mbit/s on the UART !
- Adds support for the AMW006 module (Numbat).
- Stream mode stability is enhanced.
- New features include a UDP server, and a TLS server providing a secure extension to the TCP server functionality.
- File management is improved with the ability to download files from, and upload files to, an HTTP server.
- Multiple variable configurations can be saved as named files and reloaded.
- Variable configuration can be maintained through an OTA upgrade.
- There is precise management of the memory used for the Tx and Rx network pool buffers.
- In addition there is greater transparency and access to information such as connected clients, AP status and network join results.
Changelog
v2.0.0 : Changes for v2.0.0 are listed in the following tables.

Commands Added
| Change | Description |
|---|---|
| http_download | Download file(s) from an HTTP server and save to external flash. |
| http_upload | Upload file(s) from the device flash to an HTTP server using HTTP POST and file upload. |
| load | Load a variable configuration previously saved to flash by the save command |
| save | Save now saves to a named configuration file for subsequent load. Save to default_config.csv to maintain configuration through an ota upgrade. |
| tls_server | Provides a TLS server for secure data interchange |
| udp_server | Provides a UDP server that can listen for and send messages. |
