Using the SparkFun's CC3000 Wifi Shield to get the Internet Time

Projects General Guidance

Hey Friends,

I need to get the internet time using the CC3000 wifi shield that I purchased from Sparkfun. The library that comes with the shield doesn't really help with this problem. I tried using Adafruit's library and just changing the pins used (in the code) but that didn't work. How do I go about doing this?

Also, I'm using Thingspeak to log some data. Can I somehow take the time from Thingspeak?

It's worth noting that I'm a novice as far as programming goes..

Thanks a lot for the help!!

I'm not sure why you're having trouble. I hooked the CC3000 up to an Uno as shown in the Buildtest example from the Adafruit library download (the MOSI MISO SCK pins must be the ones designated, depending on your processor), and had no difficulty.

Post your code, and tell us which Uno device you're running it on.
