Good Morning EZ-B Robot Builders !

How much Code would be required to add WiFi to one of my existing EZ-B's ?

I still want to Maintain ALL the ARC Features, other than BlueTooth !

A most reliable friend guided me to the following Modules :

Roving Networks' RN-XV Wi-Fi Module 30025, https://solarbotics.com/product/30025/

SparkFun XBee Explorer Regulated 50828, https://solarbotics.com/product/50828/

Thank You All For The Consulting Services,

I have one on the way, unfortunately there was an error by the shipper so it didn't arrive before I started vacation and is being delivered to my work address, so i won't have it until after April 3rd. Once I have it I will be posting a tutorial.

@robotmaker I hate to need to disagree, but Norton is currently one of the worst choices for anti-virus. AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials are both better and cheaper (free)

Alan is correct. 2012 reports show Norton only picking up 92% of viruses (and letting around 1.8 million viruses through). It also flags up a lot of things as viruses when they are not which only causes problems. To top it off it can render a system totally useless when it takes over the boot sector and refuses to boot due to false positives. That's just the AV, Internet Security is even worse and can often just randomly stop allowing the internet to work, email accounts to work etc. It's considered as bad as a virus in many circles. But we digress.

I've also ordered one yesterday, I'm hoping it turns up next week as I have the week after off work and can look in to how to get it installed and working.

5 minds are better than one and all that:).

I guess i didnt say this this but i dont really like norton,my favorate is AVG and not the free version,i boght the pro,but on my other computers i use AVG free version ,mostly because i dont want to buy them for my 9 computers i have in my home network.

I KEEP TELLING my dad to get rid of norton,i have only one till it runs out then i dont want it any more.

Another one i tried is kaspersky its all free .

NOT also good to remove anti-virus software and then re-install each time,it leavespart of the software and has update problems.

WITH free software like AVG witch i always see it one of the best anti-virus programs.

another i heard it good is kasperspy and its free too

Only used NORTON as a example only in my post
