The RN1723 Development Board provides a platform to evaluate Microchip’s RN1723 module for low-power IoT client applications.

This is the initial public release version. Please check back often for updates.

To set up the Python server, users will need to install python and the necessary packages that support SSL before launching the server script. After the server is set up and running properly, the RN1723 Development Board will then be able to connect to the server as a client and post the status updates to the server. The following sections describe the necessary steps to set up a computer as a server for Windows ® , Mac OS ® , and Linux.

Do the following:

Install python , version 2.7.10 or greater.

a) Download and run the installer from:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2710/
b) Add the Python directory to your system PATH.

Note: The pip package will be installed with Python 2.7 or later.

Install pybottle by opening a command shell (click Start ( in the search box) and entering the following command: ) and enter cmd

python –m pip install bottle

Install CherryPy , version 3.2.3 by entering the following command:

python –m pip install cherrypy==3.2.3

Note: Version other than 3.2.3 may not support SSL.

Launch the server script from the installed directory by entering the following command:

python ServerMainSSL.py

The instructions provided in this section assume that a previous version of openssl has not been installed. If that is not the case, all previous versions must first be uninstalled before proceeding. Only openssl version 1.0.0 or later supports the RN1723 Secure Server Script using TLS1.2. To install openssl do the following:

Use Homebrew (http://brew.sh) to install the latest version of openssl using the following commands in a terminal window, while forcing the links so that Python will use the right version of openssl.

brew update
brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl

Reinstall Python to use the latest openssl:

brew install python --with-brewed-openssl

To verify that python was updated, run the following command and verify that the version number of the operating system is greater than 1.0.2d

python -c 'import ssl; print ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION'

Install pip by opening a terminal application (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and entering the following command:

sudo easy_install pip

Install pybottle by entering the following command:

sudo pip install bottle

Install Cherrypy version 3.2.3 by entering the following command:

sudo pip install cherrypy==3.2.3

Launch the server script by entering the following command:

sudo python ServerMainSSL.py

Install Python 2.7.x by opening a terminal application and entering the following command:

sudo apt-get install python

Install pip by entering the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

Install pybottle by entering the following command:

sudo pip install bottle

Install Cherrypy version 3.2.3 by entering the following command:

sudo pip install cherrypy==3.2.3

Launch the server script by entering the following command:

sudo python ServerMainSSL.py

Open a Web browser and enter the following URL on the same machine running the python server script:

https://localhost

Note: If accessing the server from a machine other than local host you will need the IP address of the server machine.

1. Connect a mini-USB to Type A USB cable between the RN1723 Development
Board and the laptop/PC.
2. Use a Serial Port Terminal Application software and configure it to the following
settings:
- Baud Rate: 115200
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow Control: None
3. Ensure that the jumper is installed on J4.
4. Press any key to display the Menu in the terminal application
5. Select option 5 and configure the host server address. For example, if the Host
server IP Address is 192.168.1.225, enter 192.168.1.225 when prompted for an
IP Address).
6. Select option 3, enter the SSID, and then the Passphrase to the new AP. Check
for the response “OK” from the RN1723 module, as shown in Figure 3-6.

After provisioning the RN1723 Development Board onto a network, the device will com- municate periodically to the host server (Cloud) with status information. Once the data exchange is completed the RN module will return to Sleep mode. For configuring the application system settings (wake-up interval, alarm thresholds), the user can modify the settings on the server web page.

Q: I can't access the server page. The browser give warning that connection is not private and can't proceed or add exception for self signed certificate.

A: Try using Firefox.
