I want to make a watch, that can check my location and time. So I decided to make this watch using Wi-Fi module (WizFi250) and Cortex-M0 MCU (WIZwiki-W7500). For getting geolocation of this watch, I used ip-api.com
which is a geolocation server and I used NTP server for getting the current time. This picture is the system diagram of my project.
UART0 RX/TX/CTS/RTS pins of WIZwiki-W7500 board are used to control WizFi250 which Wi-Fi module and It use I2C SDA/SCL pins for using SSD1306 OLED.
You can use this application if access to this link and there are library which this example used.
SSD1306 LibraryFor using SSD1306 OLED, I used Adafruit GFX Library. While I used this library, I found bug about display function. So I modified this bug and I send “Pull Request” to origin author.
HTTP ClientI used HTTP Client Libary for getting geo-location information. This library is used to send or receive from web server. In this example, I connected to ip-api.com
and then I can get geo-location information which CSV format. It had latitude, longitude and TimeZone. This is URL for this library: HTTP Client Library
I used NTP Client Library for using UDP communication. I can get UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) from NTP Server using this library. In this example, I used kr.pool.ntp.org
which NTP Server of Korea and I added 9 hours to UTC for using Korea time: NTP Client Library
