WiFi Shield problems: Header files not found

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

first, I'am new in microcontroller matters. I just bought an Arduino Uno Rev3 together with
an Arduino Wireless SD Shield and run into toubles with the not found headers in the required
libraries.

Now I found out that I need another device, a Xbee module or similar because the shield alone
cannot send nor receive data from a router. Is this correct ???

Is this correct

Yes. The name is quite misleading as it's basically an Xbee shield with an SD card reader. The wireless functionality is provided by the Xbee you connect to it.

What type of wireless connection are you going to try? If it's WiFi, forget the shield and buy one of the cheap boards based on the ESP8266. You get them quite cheap and the boards that are designed to be connected to an Arduino are equipped with a firmware that allows to use the WiFi functionality by a simple AT command set. Ready-to-use libraries for the Arduino exist too.

If you still want help with that, you'll need to post the complete error messages:

  • When you encounter an error, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages" in the Arduino IDE (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper at the top right corner of the black console window in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button..
  • In a forum reply here, click on the reply field.
  • Click the </> button on the forum toolbar. This will add the forum's code tags markup to your reply.
  • Press "Ctrl + V". This will paste the error between the code tags.
  • Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.

If the text exceeds the forum's 9000 character limit, save it to a .txt file and podst it as an attachment. If you click the "Reply" button here, you will see an "Attachments and other settings" link.
