NetworkAircraft

The NetworkAircraft aircraft is a module of the WASMAircraft modular aircraft, which shows an aircraft that has three different screens, each one using a specific method of working with the WASM Network API. Once the WASM Aircraft package has been built, this module will be available for flying from the aircraft selection screen:

 

Once you have built the aircraft and selected it, you can go into a Free Flight and see three panels in the cockpit. These three panels all follow the same format, with a simple text saying "Click here":

 

Each screen is for showing a separate principle component of the Network API. These are (from left to right):

 

• HttpGet (Loop): When you click on the screen, the gauge will make a request (GET) to an online website to get a random image and display it. It will also copy the image to the work folder, and you can click again and again to get a different image every time. Conceptually this gauge shows how to use the Network API using the "Loop" technique.

 

• HttpGet (Callback): This gauge has the exact same behaviour as the previously described gauge. However this gauge is conceptually different as it uses the "Callback" technique.

 

• HttpPut: For this last gauge, clicking will make a request (PUT) to an online website and then copy the returned JSON file into the work folder. Once done, the gauge will display the path to the last JSON downloaded.
