I can't figure out, why wifly shield is not connecting.
It looks like the code does not go past the below loop.
if (!WiFly.join(ssid, passphrase)) {
Serial.print("ifError");
while (1) {
Serial.print("Error");
}
}
Below is my simple "hello world" webserver code!
#include "WiFly.h"
char passphrase[] = "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx";
char ssid[] = "***** test wireless";
Server server(80);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Setting up");
WiFly.begin();
Serial.println("WiFly started");
if (!WiFly.join(ssid, passphrase)) {
Serial.print("ifError");
while (1) {
Serial.print("Error");
}
}
Serial.println("Can u reach me ?");
Serial.print("IP: ");
Serial.println(WiFly.ip());
// myservo.attach(5);
server.begin();
}
void loop() {
Client client = server.available();
if (client) {
// an http request ends with a blank line
boolean current_line_is_blank = true;
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
// if we've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
// character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
// so we can send a reply
if (c == '\n' && current_line_is_blank) {
// send a standard http response header
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println();
client.print("Hello World!");
break;
}
if (c == '\n') {
// we're starting a new line
current_line_is_blank = true;
} else if (c != '\r') {
// we've gotten a character on the current line
current_line_is_blank = false;
}
}
}
// give the web browser time to receive the data
delay(100);
client.stop();
}
}
Serial Monitor shows below and nothing else after that :-
Setting up
WiFly started
I checked my wlan auth, wlan phrase, wlan join. All the setting seem to be fine. when I run the "SpiUartTerminal" and save and reboot it connects to WiFly fine! says "associated" !!
You haven't defined which WiFly shield you're using (there are some which communicates by UART, some by SPI) and you haven't provided a link to the library you're using. Too much guess work for the community really help you.
I am using TeraTerm VT instead of Arduino serial monitor.

any idea why DHCP fails? and after awhile it is disconnected.
I was working Arduino 0023 yesterday today I started working in Arduino 1.0
The code I am using at the moment:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFly.h>
char passphrase[] = "****-****-y9i0";
char ssid[] = "spandy test wireless";
WiFlyServer server(80);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Setting up");
WiFly.begin();
Serial.println("WiFly started");
if (!WiFly.join(ssid, passphrase)) {
//Serial.print("ifError");
while (1) {
Serial.print("if_Error");
}
}
Serial.println("Can u reach me ?");
Serial.print("IP: ");
Serial.println(WiFly.ip());
// myservo.attach(5);
server.begin();
}
void loop() {
WiFlyClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
// an http request ends with a blank line
boolean current_line_is_blank = true;
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
// if we've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
// character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
// so we can send a reply
if (c == '\n' && current_line_is_blank) {
// send a standard http response header
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println();
client.print("Hello World!");
break;
}
if (c == '\n') {
// we're starting a new line
current_line_is_blank = true;
} else if (c != '\r') {
// we've gotten a character on the current line
current_line_is_blank = false;
}
}
}
// give the web browser time to receive the data
delay(100);
client.stop();
}
}

It is stuck in that loop because DHCP is failing! any suggestions on what I am doing wrong.??
Please help
Are you sure you use the current version of the library? The new version has timeouts for all functions and join() must return after some time. Can you check that you're using that version. It's important also because only the new version does support the SPI version of the shield (which you have).
I have checked, I am using the latest version of the library.
So since then I have been running "SpiUartTerminal" to manually connect to the WiFi first.

Nothing wrong with Wifi AP. I am have connected my phone to it and it works fine!
You probably should set wlan linkmon to a value greater than 1. If it's greater than 0 the WiFly checks the connection to the AP once a second. If the value is 1 (as it is for your module) one failure is enough to terminate the connection. Try setting it to 10 or so.
