I am trying to connect my Arduino Uno with an original Wifi Shield to my Laptop.
Therefore i have created a Wireless Accec Point by using MyPublicWifi.
In the next step i transfered the SSID and the key to the arduino basic WPA program.
But it is not working! >:(
the wifi shield is not working. but it is possible to connect to my router.
the error LED is red on the shield when i try to connect to my wireless acces point:astonished:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
char ssid[] = "Hotspot"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "12345678"; // your network password

void setup() {
//Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
// check for the presence of the shield:
if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
// don't continue:
while (true);
}
String fv = WiFi.firmwareVersion();
if ( fv != "1.1.0" )
Serial.println("Please upgrade the firmware");

Serial.println(encryption, HEX);
Serial.println();
}
no i did not. if my mobilephone is working my arduino should do the same i guess.
but it should be possible to connect my arduino to a createt network like wireless netwok on my pc, shouldnt it? i really have to get through it
but it is possible for my shield to connect to my standard router with the program above.
but i won t connect to my wireless acess point i have created with the windows 8 console using the netsh command.
