Arduino + CC3000 = Artnet Node ...maybe if I wasn't a n00b.

Hey guys! This is my first post here on the Arduino forums, and I couldn't feel better about joining this community. I'm surprised it's taken me this long to get into Arduino, but I have an here I am. I've done development, but for the most part it's all been done in Python building tools for production software like Maya, Nuke, etc. Nothing as low level as I'm attempting now, and even though I can read the code and am doing a pretty good job at copy>pasting>modifying scripts together this task is a bit more involved. I am trying to make an Artnet node for pixel mapping, and even have a DMX shield (http://www.robotmesh.com/microcontrollers/arduino-compatible-shields/dmx-shield) on the way to try and interface with my lighting system. I have downloaded all the different Artnet libraries I found on this site, but my issue is that all work with the EthernetUDP library, and I'm using an Adafruit CC3000 shield. I have an Ethernet shield on the way as well but now I'm just mad at myself for not being able to get this to work using the CC3k! Does anyone know of any posts or sites where this has been implemented? Tomorrow I can post the code that I've been working on, but for now all I can do is ask for references.

Here's some pictures of a case I've quickly modeled and 3d printed for the Uno and the CC3000. Next steps are to get some status LEDs soldered onto the proto surface of the CC3000 and some screw terminals for connecting neopixels/strips. Then I make a lid and BAM! Wireless Artnet pixels..... at least that's what I see in my dreams. :slight_smile: The two wires are removed now... were just there while testing. Thanks for the help and pleasure to be a part of the community!!

Version 1 of the case: Had screw holes to mount and no place for antenna or antenna wire. Just really a basic case... tried it on for 10 minutes then went to redesigning something more useful. Then in true open source fashion I gifted it to the guy who got me interested in Arduino!

Version 2: Now we're talking! Velcro strap slots on the side to attach it to my lighting truss, antenna mounting hole, and guide for the antenna wire. Also the walls were raised to accommodate the added height of the CC3000. Added support rods up the side walls with groves near the top for the lid to snap onto once it's designed.

Version 3: TO COME!! Todo: lid with status LEDs exposed. SD card slot blocked by walls in V02, fix that. Think of ways to make case modular to support stacking of different shields. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: YAY! FUN!

Is there a question in your posting?

I think perhaps, if not, it needs to be in a different section e.g. for showcasing ?
