CC3000 no reply on ping

[sketchy]

Thank you. I don't know if this is clear, but a couple of things I thought was weird:
1) My mac is and the same subnet as the cc3000. The cc3000 doesn't get results from the ping.
-> I agree, 0 sent looks VERY suspicious.
2) WebClient works - meaning the cc3000 finds www.adafruit.com, sends TCP packets and gets a response.

This strikes me as weird and then I don't understand how the routing can be incorrect if a TCP connection can be made but a ping can't be made? Note: I can ping from terminal to www.adafruit.com.....

One thing for sure, we peel an onion we find a whole 'nother bag of onions to peel - particularly when it comes to networking. But that is the fun of all of this. Frustration -> fixing -> learning...

if i have an wireless access point that is not listed in TI's list of tested/approved APs what is the chance i will be able to connect?
it is a lynksys E1200.
don't want to buy a cc3000 shield at this point if it is not going to work.
how can i test this or verify it without purchasing one?
what would be different about my access point that would make it not work (i know, like a million things, right)?
thanks for any insight.

best,
jon

Honestly, I think the chances of it not working with your AP are very low. LinkSys routers are very mainstream.

Just a quick update: it appears the CC3000 boards with firmware 1.24 have the issue fixed with IP addresses in the range 10.0.X.Y

[adafruit_support_mike]

Good. It's nice to get confirmation of that from the field.

Thanks for posting!

I have tried that example and it gets stuck.

Hello, CC3000!

Free RAM: 1215

Initializing...
Connected!
Request DHCP



IP Addr: 10.0.1.23
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.1.1
DHCPsrv: 10.0.1.1
DNSserv: 10.0.1.1
http://www.adafruit.com -> 207.58.139.247


...and it gets stuck there.

On the buildtest.ino I had to comment out the firmware check for it to work. It says it has version 1.10. Don't know if this is related.

[adafruit_support_rick]

Firmware version 1.10? I don't think we ever shipped that. Did you get this module from Adafruit?

The older firmware versions did not work with 10.x.x.x networks. You should update your firmware. Use the driverpatch_1_12 sketch (driverpatch_1_13 is a beta version, and we don't recommend it).

if it doesnt pass the firmware test its unlikely its from adafruit - we update the firmware and test each module before shipping.

[a19i23]

Yes it is from Adafruit.

[adafruit_support_rick]

Very strange that it would come like that. Can you try installing driverpatch_1_12 from the Adafruit_CC3000_Library?

[a19i23]

ok, i'll try
