soracom-arc-esp32-arduino

A utility library to use/bootstrap Soracom Arc easily on ESP32 Arduino boards.

Synopsis

#include <SoracomArcESP32.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>

#define BAUDRATE 115200

static SoracomArc soracomArc;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(BAUDRATE);
  while (!Serial)
    ;

  WiFi.begin("__YOUR_AP_SSID__", "__YOUR_AP_PASSWORD__");
  while (!WiFi.isConnected()) {
    delay(1000);
  }

  configTime(0, 0, "ntp.nict.jp", "time.google.com", "pool.ntp.org");

  std::string soracomAPIAuthKeyID = "keyId-__YOUR_SORACOM_API_KEY_ID__";
  std::string soracomAPIAuthKey = "secret-__YOUR_SORACOM_API_AUTH_KEY__";
  std::string caCert = "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n"
                       "...\n"
                       "__CA_CERTIFICATION_STRING__\n"
                       "...\n"
                       "-----END CERTIFICATE-----\n";

  SoracomAPI soracomAPIClient(soracomAPIAuthKeyID, soracomAPIAuthKey, caCert);

  std::string simID = "__YOUR_SIM_ID__";
  while (!soracomArc.activate(soracomAPIClient, simID)) {
    delay(5000);
  }

  log_i("setup finished");
}

void loop() {
  HTTPClient http;

  http.begin("http://metadata.soracom.io/");
  http.setConnectTimeout(1000);
  http.setTimeout(1000);
  int statusCode = http.GET();

  String payload = http.getString();
  log_i("http status: %d", statusCode);
  log_i("%s", payload.c_str());

  http.end();

  delay(30000);
}

examples have more various code-tips.

Description

This library support two ways to use Soracom Arc easily.

1. Initialize a session of Soracom Arc with Soracom API dynamically

This way supports to bootstrap a session of Soracom Arc dynamically. This implies it doesn't need to store the WireGuard credentials on a board permanently.

2. Initialize a session of Soracom Arc with WireGuard configuration statically

This way is quite simple; it uses given static WireGuard credentials to make a session of Soracom Arc.

Installation

This library is available on Arduino Library Registry. You can find this in Arduino Library Manager by searching SoracomArcESP32.

Dependencies

Please refer to the lib_deps section in platformio.ini.

Tips

SORACOM API

Permissions

When using Soracom API, the SAM user (i.e. apiKeyId and apiKey pair) has to have the following permissions:

Sim:getSim
Sim:renewArcSimCredentials

And we highly recommend you not use the root user. It prefers to use a SAM user for this purpose.

CA certifications

It needs a CA certification when it accesses api.soracom.io over TLS. Please fill the pem style CA certification for api.soracom.io in code.

Known issues

This library doesn't support allowedIPs WireGuard configuration for now
There is a timing issue around the WireGuard handshake; when it tries to access somewhere before the WireGuard handshake hasn't finished, it cannot reach there. We recommend setting the timeout for the remote access and introducing the retrying mechanism.

For library developers

Requirements

./devtools/bootstrap.sh installs the platformio-cli simply.

How to build

$ make build

How to upload a sketch to a board

$ make upload

When you faced the error message like serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/XXX, please adjust the upload_port parameter in platformio.ini.

NOTE: This needs a sketch application in src/ directory.

How to apply the code formatter

$ make fmt
