Using CC3000 to ping a IP address

Post by saikrupa2 »

I'm able to connect to the WiFi using the buildtest example program. I want to send data from the board to a server at a particular IP address. I'm not able to ping the IP address to which my server is connected to. How do I resolve this?

Can you make any other kind of connection?

Ping flooding is a common denial of service attack, so lots of network service providers disable ping support.

So I won't be able to transfer data from my board to a database online on a server?

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to do that if your server is set up to accept data from an external device and your CC3000 is sending the data in the correct format.
