{% hint style="info" %}
You can open the programme code in the Arduino IDE via **File > Example > Antares ESP HTTP > ESP8266-Simple-Project > GET\_DATA\_OLED.**
{% endhint %}

Here is the programme code of the **GET\_DATA\_OLED** example.

```cpp
#include <AntaresESPHTTP.h>     // Include the AntaresESP8266HTTP library for connecting to the Antares platform
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>  // Include the OLED library

#define ACCESSKEY "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY"    // Replace with your Antares account access key
#define WIFISSID "YOUR-WIFI-SSID"      // Replace with your Wi-Fi SSID
#define PASSWORD "YOUR-WIFI-PASSWORD"  // Replace with your Wi-Fi password

#define projectName "YOUR-APPLICATION-NAME"  // Replace with the Antares application name that was created
#define deviceName "YOUR-DEVICE-NAME"        // Replace with the Antares device name that was created

const unsigned long interval = 10000;  // 10 s interval to send message
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;      // will store last time message sent

AntaresESPHTTP antares(ACCESSKEY);

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64
#define OLED_RESET -1  // Change this if your OLED module has a different reset pin

Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET);  // Create an OLED display object

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  antares.setDebug(true);
  antares.wifiConnection(WIFISSID, PASSWORD);

  // Initialize the OLED display
  if (!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C)) {
    Serial.println(F("SSD1306 allocation failed"));
    for (;;)
      ;
  }

  // Clear the buffer and display the initial message
  display.clearDisplay();
  display.setTextSize(1);
  display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE);
  display.setCursor(0, 0);
  display.println("Hallo Test");
  display.display();
  delay(2000);  // Display the message for 2 seconds
}

void loop() {
  if (millis() - previousMillis > interval) {
    previousMillis = millis();

    // Get the latest data from your Antares device
    antares.get(projectName, deviceName);

    // Check if we're actually getting data
    if (antares.getSuccess()) {
      String test = antares.getString("Test");

      // Update the OLED display
      Serial.println("Received : " + test);
      display.clearDisplay();
      display.setTextSize(1);
      display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE);
      display.setCursor(0, 0);
      display.println("Received:" + test);
      display.display();
    }
  }
}
```

### **3.** Set WiFi Credential and Antares Credential in Program Code&#x20;

Change the HTTP Protocol parameters in the following variables **\*ACCESSKEY, \*WIFISSID, \*PASSWORD, \*projectName**, and **\*deviceName**. Adjust to the parameters in the Antares console.

```arduino

### **4. Compile and Upload Program**

Connect the **ESP8266 WEMOS D1R2** with your computer and make sure the **Communication Port** is read.

{% hint style="info" %}
On Windows operating systems, checking can be done via **Device Manager**. If your **ESP8266 WEMOS D1R2** is read, the **USB-Serial CH340** appears with the port adjusting the port availability (in this case it reads **COM4**).
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/7cujmJ5QHdJaAjH815aZ/blobs/al6ohBQ1SOQv1L9b6Evd/Device%20Manager%20Windows.jpeg" alt=""><figcaption><p>Device Manager image on Windows.</p></figcaption></figure>

Set up the **ESP8266 WEMOS D1R2** board by clicking **Tools > Board > esp8266** in the Arduino IDE, then make sure the one used is **LOLIN (WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini**. Select the port according to the communication port that is read (in this case COM4). The result will look like the following picture.

{% hint style="info" %}
**The Tick icon** on the Arduino IDE is just the verify process. Usually used to **Compile** the programme to find out whether there are errors or not. \
**The Arrow icon** on the Arduino IDE is the verify and upload process. Usually used to **Compile** the programme as well as Flash the programme to the target board.
{% endhint %}

If the programme upload is successful, it will look like the following image.

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/7cujmJ5QHdJaAjH815aZ/blobs/QCvFn8e5WMFPla0WpCF4/Halaman%20Arduino%20IDE%20Setelah%20Upload%20Berhasil.jpeg" alt=""><figcaption><p>Arduino IDE page image after successful upload.</p></figcaption></figure>

After uploading the programme, you can view the **serial monitor** to debug the programme. The **serial monitor** icon is shown in the following image.

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/7cujmJ5QHdJaAjH815aZ/blobs/uLYgTfdfD0LeRt3BJAwe/Icon%20Serial%20Monitor%20pada%20Arduino%20IDE.jpeg" alt=""><figcaption><p>Image of the Serial Monitor Icon in the Arduino IDE.</p></figcaption></figure>

Set the **serial baud rate** to 115200 and select BothNL & CR. The result will look like the following image.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Make sure the **serial baud rate** matches the value defined in the programme code. If the **serial baud rate** is not the same between the **programme code** and the **serial monitor**, the ASCII characters will not be read properly.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/7cujmJ5QHdJaAjH815aZ/blobs/Fz4KxauO4Vgko6baRVsY/Serial%20Monitor%20GET%20Data%20OLED%20HTTP.jpeg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### **5. Setup Software POSTMAN**

In this step you need POSTMAN software, you can input the **end-point, request header** and **request** body first by following the following format.

**End Point**&#x20;

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="134.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Method</strong></td><td>POST</td></tr><tr><td><strong>URL</strong></td><td>https://platform.antares.id:8443/~/antares-cse/antares-id/<mark style="color:red;">your-application-name/your-device-name</mark></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
Customise <mark style="color:red;">your-application-name</mark> and <mark style="color:red;">your-device-name</mark> to the names registered to your Antares account.
{% endhint %}

**Request Header**

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="134.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Key</strong></td><td><strong>Value</strong></td></tr><tr><td>X-M2M-Origin</td><td><mark style="color:red;">your-access-key</mark></td></tr><tr><td>Content-Type</td><td>application/json;ty=4</td></tr><tr><td>Accept</td><td>application/json</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
Customise <mark style="color:red;">your-access-key</mark> with your Antares account access key.
{% endhint %}

The result will be as shown below.

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/7cujmJ5QHdJaAjH815aZ/blobs/7p87ee4RDHN5micRaC2h/POSTMAN%201.png" alt=""><figcaption><p>Image of end-point and header settings in POSTMAN software.</p></figcaption></figure>

Next, you need to input the request body by following the following format.

**Request Body**

```json
{
  "m2m:cin": {
    "con": "{\"key1\":\"integer-value\", \"key2\":\"string-value\", \"keyN\":\"valueN\"}"
  }
}
```

In the POSTMAN software, select the **Body** tab then select **raw** and enter the payload according to the request body you want to use as shown below.

{% hint style="info" %}
Customise the contents of the "con" field according to the "key" and "value" you want to send.
{% endhint %}

### **6.** Sending POSTMAN Messages to the Antares Server

After the POSTMAN software setup is complete, it's time to send the POST command. The "Test" field is filled with the string "Hello 123" as the message to be sent via HTTP protocol to the Antares server.

```json
{
  "m2m:cin": {
    "con": "{\"Test\":\"Hallo 123\"}"
  }
}
```

If you have finished filling in the "Test" field, then press the **Send** button on the POSTMAN software. Looks like the following picture.
