13.5. Auto posting sensor data:
WiFly module can send the value of the GPIO and sensor pins:
The data will come as 18 bytes of ASCII HEX: <2 bytes GPIO><channel 0 thru 7 sensor data>
setip proto 18 // turn on HTTP mode=0x10 + TCP mode = 0x2
setdns namewww.webserver.com //name of your webserver
setip address 0 // so WiFly will use DNS
setip remote 80 // standard webserver port
set com remote GET$/userprog.php?DATA= // sample server application
setq sensor 0xff // sets WiFly to sample all 8 sensor channels
set sys auto 30// automatically make the connection every 30 seconds
set option format 7 // send the header plus the sampled binary data converted to ASCII format
The Resulting string sent to the server will be
GET /userprog.php?DATA=0F3000001111222233334444555566667777\n\n
In the above example, the data format is

13.6. Examples using the HTML client
Example#1: Auto posting sensor data:
In this example, we will connect to the web server atwww.rovingnetworks.com/mike.php?ID
= and send
data “ID=1234” every 60 seconds. We will also append the sensor data to the “ID=1234”.
Set the network connections as described above. The other parameters that we need to set are described
below.
Set dns name www.rovingnetworks.com //set up the URL of the server
Set ip host 0 //instructs RN-370 to use DNS address of host server
Set ip remote 80 //standard web server port
Set ip proto 18 //enable HTTP and TCP protocols
Set com remote GET$/mike.php?ID=1234 //set up the string
Set sys auto 10 //auto connect every 10 seconds
Set option format 7 //send the header and sampled binary data converted to ASCII
