How to make an embedded system networked?
We all know that when we use a computer to surf the Internet, we need to connect our computer to the router via a network cable or through a wireless network card, and then connect to the remote server via the modem function of the cat, so that we can operate the Internet. So, what do we need to do if we need to add embedded machines to the Internet?
In fact, the principle and the computer is the same, first we need a can solve the network cable or network card related peripherals, to ensure that our embedded device has the hardware conditions of the Internet, and then through the hardware driver provided by the manufacturer to drive the operation, so that the embedded device can be guaranteed to surf the Internet, but this is only a solution to my problem, Is that, now the device can surf the internet, but my embedded device how to remote control operation? That is what we call the command to communicate!!!
This problem has been confusing me for a long time, but recently, I suddenly understand a lot of, first of all, through a picture to row this embedded device networking process:
In fact, I think, the WiFi control module, probably did an intermediate conversion function, that is, his key role is to take our WiFi module received the control signal, converted into a serial signal (this is a common embedded system is to support this serial communication), that is, As long as there is a chip to control the WiFi module, it should be able to connect the device to the Internet, but Ah 51 single-chip microcomputer, pic, or arm, the principle is the same, but in the processing time, the difference in speed.
Smart Cloud configuration Process I'm not talking about it here, because it's on the document. Then we can talk about how to develop cloud based on the smart cloud!
In fact, this is the same as our development process, first of all, you have to have a similar appkey things, this need to go to the official application, generally can be, and then you can write your own business logic, when you encounter in the business logic, such as the need for remote control equipment, You now need to call the smart Cloud to your open interface, so that you need to remote control, call this interface, so that you can complete your control function, your device upload data can be placed on their own server, this I do not say, plainly, this development and development of other cloud services is the same!!
Well, write so much today, the main understanding of the WiFi module in the embedded networking role is good. In order to support my argument, you can go to some treasure above search "WiFi module", you can see a lot of similar things, they are transparent to the conversion!!!
Smart Cloud development of the WiFi communication of those things
