Hi, I keep reading you can use wifi but tried it and no luck and don't know of anyone who got it to work. I asked Dj for help but no reply,did anyone get it to work and how thanks
This is the tutorial page for Wifi: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Hardware.aspx?id=22
Tried it but can't get com port to work.I know others have tried with no luck.
What do you mean by "Can't get com port to work"?
As far as I know through the forum, anyone who has followed This Tutorial has had working wifi.
Once you purchase a Wifi module, connecting to the EZ-B is simple. The Receive, Transmit, +5 and GND are the only wires you will need to connect. You will need to follow the directions for the Wifi module that you are using. We do recommend the Wifi module in that tutorial, but there are many others.
There is no reason why one uart enabled wifi module would work and another would not. The communication from the EZ-B is TTL Serial Uart because it is a very popular communication protocol to support.
Which Wifi module are you using?
I am using the same one in the tutorial,I might have a defective wifi module i am going to order another one and try again
@pittom To confirm, you are first hooking up the WiFi module initially to your PC and programming it to the correct SSID/Password (either as Ad hoc or Infrastructure)?
Or are you having issues getting it initially configured to the PC (via USB-TTL adapter?) in-order to program it?
EDIT - Since there is a bunch of "prep & programming" required before you even plug it into the EZ-B... I guess what I should have asked is... at what step in the MANUAL are you running into issues
@Gunner ok have problem with USB-TTL adapter played with then got it to work,got it program left security open but should i use auto mode(i did) got virtual port working but will not connect.virtual port tries to connect
just got new wifi but it is auto mode tried hyper terminal and even tried this from other post and no luck,
Posted at 7/5/2012 1:44:46 PM #4 I am sure following the instructions should do it. Simply connect the wifi to the ttl usb then open arduino next set the serial port to the specified com that the ttl is on. open the serial monitor type in +++ and hit send. You should receive +ok as a response, this should remove it from auto mode. From there you can use the wifi software to programm the wifi card.
Ok almost got it working,do i want auto mode?
