WiFi PRO 22: Set time from WiFi

This example shows how to get time settings from internet and set up time and date into Waspmote's RTC.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x WiFi PRO Module

Notes

- The battery has to be connected. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v15

***************************************
Once the module is set with one or more
AP settings, it attempts to join the AP
automatically once it is powered on
Refer to example 'WIFI_PRO_01' to configure
the WiFi module with proper settings

1. WiFi switched ON
2. WiFi is connected OK Time(ms):125

3.3. Network Time-of-Day Activation Flag set OK
3.4. GMT set OK to 2
4. WiFi switched OFF

-----------------------------------------------------------
Once the module has the correct Time Server Settings
it is always possible to request for the Time and
synchronize it to the Waspmote's RTC
