- The MAC address of the associated AP, channel, and RSSI value are available in this packet, thus
enabling a simple location and tracking based function.
By default the WiFly module now sends out a UDP broadcast to 255.255.255.255 on port 55555 at a
programmable interval. The broadcast address, port and interval are set using the “set broadcast”
commands.
The format of the packet is: 110 bytes of data:
AP MAC
address Chan RSSI
Local TCP
port
Real Time
Clock
Battery
Voltage GPIO pins
time of
day
Version and
datecode
