cc3000 driver on mbed (news)

As I wrote previously, we have been working on cc3000 driver which was released yesterday on mbed. It was about the time, I started to port C code to C++ back in August. I did not anticipate the chip is so complex.

Here's link to the cookbook cc3000 cookbook [http://mbed.org/cookbook]

I also published 11 examples ready to be used for any mbed platform available on mbed (2 boards have predefined init function, the others need to be added based on user's configuration). Mbed Socket interface is part of cc3000 driver which enables to use many ethernet libraries. To mention some HTTPclient, Twitter, Websockets.

I had so much fun with it, the most excited I was when tweet from my Wi-Go was published. Not to mention that this driver was also mentioned on adafruit blog : cc3000 for mbed [http://www.adafruit.com/blog/]
I hope that driver will help many people with IoT & mbed !

Does anybody need any tutorials about cc3000? How smartconfig works (and picture step-by-step guide for the Simple socket demo) ?
Or what about any missing demo for cc3000? Leave a comment.

mbed and cc3000 (wifi)

I share with you that we are currently working on new cc3000 driver directly aimed to be used with mbed and libraries shared there.

There are already at least 2 repositories which contain a host driver ported to mbed (written in C, mainly). Thus I began to write a new C++ interface, with a goal to be easier to use for mbed community. The host driver was ported a while ago, tested with 2 examples which were tested at least on 2 mbed platforms (I am using KL25Z - Wi-Go board). I decided to write more applications , while searching, I discovered the mbed socket interface. This is a priority at the moment, will enable users to use many libraries which are written using that interface.

I am not able to anticipate the release date at the moment. There's a lot of work still to do. Anybody out there interested ?

Want to join the development? Find me on mbed.org, send me a direct message there with your email. I'll share more details if requested.
