Hi,
I'am Building a weather station that sends data to my own web server (like the Wifi Pachube sensor client).
I am using:
- Visual Studio with plug in for Arduino. (Same issue when i use the Arduino 1.0.5)
- Arduino uno R3
- Arduino wifi shield with WiFi firmware version: 1.1.0. (upgraded firmware to last version).
I have following issue:
After 4 cycles is the error message “No Socket available” raised and no data is transmitted via WiFi. The cycles continue to run in ever endless loop, and in every new cycle is the message “No Socket available” raised.
I have don following:
- tested with Arduino example WiFiWebClient and get the same error.
- compared and used parts of the code in the sketch (WiFiPachubeClient).
- search Google for similar issues but starting to run out of ideas...
- checked the power and for test reason connected an extra +5 V power supply direct on the shield.
Code
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#define APIKEY "cRwlkNas" // api key
#define FEEDID "00001" // feed ID
#define USERAGENT "Environment Data" // project name
byte mac[] = {0x90, 0xA2, 0xDA, 0x0E, 0x96, 0xCA}; // the media access control (ethernet hardware) address for the shield:

// through the loop, then stop the client:

}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
// if you're not connected, and ten seconds have passed since

}
}
// This method calculates the number of digits in the
// sensor reading. Since each digit of the ASCII decimal
// representation is a byte, the number of digits equals
// the number of bytes:
int getLength(int someValue) {
// there's at least one byte:
int digits = 1;
// continually divide the value by ten,
// adding one to the digit count for each
// time you divide, until you're at 0:
int dividend = someValue /10;
while (dividend > 0) {
dividend = dividend /10;
digits++;
}
// return the number of digits:
return digits;
