Continuing the discussion from Will there be a Spark Core II :
I think there is a lot of community interest in these new TI chips and what influence they may have on future Spark Cores, so I thought it best to start a new topic to document my experiences with the TI CC3200 Launchpad.
These are very early first impressions as so far I've only completed step 2 of the "Getting Started" Guide for the CC3200 Launchpad
You can set it up as an access point (CC3200 Launchpad comes setup that way by default). I linked my iPad up to it
You can have a web server on the network processor with data coming from the mandatory flash chip. TI provides a demo app,
Whereas the CC3000 to Host communications are pretty much unidirectional from host to CC3000, the CC3200 network processor seems to be able to request data and send actions to the application processor. The demo web page allows you to turn leds on and off, and grab data from the temp sensor and accelerometer on the Launchpad. I need to explore what that interface is from (both the hardware and software aspect) and its capabilities, which will be sometime after Step 3 ias done (Install the CCS development environment and create Project 0)
As far as what I want to build with it, I'll start by trying the get my VO-96 Internet Gateway running on it.
