wifi shield?

Postby falcor » Wed Oct 29, 2014 9:14 pm

Hello,

Is the arduino wifi shield currently supported, or if not are there plans to to support it? I have been using mydooropener for quite some time, and have another use I want to try with it but I cannot run an ethernet cable to the point I have to have the arduino. Oddly, I have power there just not way to get ethernet pulled to that location. Thanks!

WiFi shield is currently not supported, not by us, but by one of the libraries our current Arduino backend relies on ... Webduino @ https://github.com/sirleech/Webduino.

Either they come to support the WiFiShield or we change to an alternate HTTP library. Then, MyDoorOpener would support it ...

So it might be supported at some point, not just last time we checked with Webduino's supported ethernet chips.

Best regards,
support

We don't officially support it but it shouldn't be too hard to make it work as we no longer rely
on the WebDuino library. You can most probably do it yourself by reading http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFi
and changing a few lines of code. We unfortunately don't have a Wifi shield so it's hard for us to do and test.

Best regards,
