Hello,

I bought a wifi shield (http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/wifi-shield-p-1220.html?cPath=139_141) from seeed studio and I'm trying to use it. I downloaded their library (WIFI Shield | Seeed Studio Wiki) and uploaded their example.

this is what I receive from serial monitor:

WiFly Ver 2.23, 04-26-2011 on RN-171
MAC Addr=00:06:66:72:29:cf
S¦ý¥ÿþmÿSoftMDjoin mtDSoft
Auto-Assoc mtDSoft chan=7 mode=WPA2 SCAN OK
Joining mtDSoft now..
<2.23> Disconn from mtDSoft,AUTH-ERR

mtDSoft is my ssid and I'm sure about password, but I still get AUTH-ERR. I tried wpa2 and wpa, same result..

any suggestion or better library offer?

PS: shield uses WiFly RN-171

Thanks..

hi,

I am using Adruino Uno 3 + Seeed Studio Wifi Shield v 1.1.
As per instructions ..http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Wifi_Shield_V1.1
I was able to get response from Wifly module on serial monitor.
But suddenly now the module is not responding.It shows " Wifi shiedl not present".
What could be the problem..
Other examples run well on Adruino like serail communication,blinking Led etc.
I hv tried with many wifi shield libs..and versions.
pls share the ideal/suitable libs for Seeed studio wifi shield.

Hi,
My problem has been solved.. :slight_smile:

Find the attached Wifishield Library that I found on github.com

I followed this particular steps as mentioned in the forum from which i got the solution...
previously I had downloaded many libs and then copied them in library folder etc..but it didnt work..
So..I dont know due to library name conflict or so..it insisted to make a wifi lib folder as WiFly ONLY.
I followed this particular steps as mentioned in the forum from which i got the solution...
Unzip it. Create a new folder named WiFly in Adruino\arduino-1.0.3-windows\arduino-1.0.3\libraries\WiFly
Now Copy the contents of unzipped folder into ur Adruino\arduino-1.0.3-windows\arduino-1.0.3\libraries\WiFly .
Restart ur Adruino IDE and open the TCP example from WiFly->example->TCP.
compile n opload it.
open the serial monitor .. and c the Wifly module get initialised.
