Hi,
I’m trying to setup a simple ‘send email on event’ using the PushingBox API and an Arduino UNO + CC3000 WiFi shield and while everything appears to be okay, I can’t establish a connection using the sketch PushingBox provides. When run, the Serial Monitor windows displays:
"Attempting to connect to WPA network…
Couldn’t get a wifi connection"
That’s as far as I get. I know the boards work because I successfully tested the setup using the Temboo API (I prefer PushingBox.)
As an aside the router is an N600 with WPA2-PSK AES security
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The sketch was copied from GitHub
