WIFI Shield

[cdb0ewm]

I'M WORKING ON A PROJECT THAT USES THE ARDUINO MANAGER APP TO CONTROL A TOGGLE SWITCH. I WOULD LIKE TO USE WIFI BECAUSE I'VE TRIED BLE AND I CAN'T GET A STRONG ENOUGH SIGNAL DUE TO DISTANCE. THE ARDUINO MANAGER APP SAYS IT WORKS WITH EITHER A WiFi Shield OR THE Adafruit CC3000 WiFi breakout or shield. SINCE I'M STILL IN THE LEARNING MODE, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND. I'M USING AN ARDUINO UNO

THANK YOU

Which Arduino manager app are you referring to? Do you have a link?

Here you go...

I don't see any Arduino software on that page.

We really can't support third-party software like that anyway. You should contact the author for support.

I went ahead and purchased a CC3000 wifi breakout board. The app on my iphone needs 'board IP port' number. I ran the buildtest sketch which worked fine however I could not find a reference to this port number on the serial monitor. It did give me the 'board ip address', which I needed

Any idea how I can determine the IP port number?

Thanks

The port is something that is assigned by the Arduino sketch when it creates a TCP server object.
Have a look at some of the server example sketches. Echoserver is the simplest. It shows how to set up a TCP server. The port is assigned like this:

Code: Select all

#define LISTEN_PORT           7    // What TCP port to listen on for connections.  The echo protocol uses port 7.

Adafruit_CC3000_Server echoServer(LISTEN_PORT);

You probably don't want to use port 7. Use something like 7000 instead.
