WizFi 210 Shield Communications Problem

Post by pwest » Sun Apr 21, 2013 12:08 am

Hi:
I recently received on of your WizFi Shields and one of your Chinduino boards, plugged them together and followed the instructions at: http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/ ... IFI_shield. When I get to the Serial Monitor stage, I get no response from the Arduino, but I know the connection is OK because I was able to get the 'blink' program uploaded and running.

Can you offer some suggestions on how to proceed? I also tried direct connection using the Putty terminal program, with the same results.

Thanks,
Phil

Thank you for looking into my problem.

As I said in my OP, I am using one of your 'Chinduino' boards that you shipped to me in the box with the wizfi board. From your ebay listing it is "Chindino Duemilanove Atmega328 100% compatible with arduino". Your ebay page for the wifi shield states that it is "compatible with Arduino and its clones"--can you check to make sure that it works with your Duemilanove boards? Maybe that's the problem.

As I said in my OP, I followed all the steps in your Wiki page at: http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/ ... IFI_shield . I was very careful when doing this and tried several times. Concerning the two switches, I am using Data/Command in COMMAND mode, and I have tried Run/Program in both modes--which one is correct for sending AT commands?

I should also add that, since my prior post, I was able to try the wizfi shield with an Arduino UNO and got the same results--no reply through the serial monitor. Also, only the PWR LED comes on--I have never seen any of the other 3 come on or even blink.

Hi, friend
I am so sorry for the late reply.The Chindino Duemilanove Atmega328 is very suit for the WizFi 210 Shield,please don't worry .
A good USB line is very important for the WizFi 210 Shield . Once we had same proble with you ,but it was working when used a better usb line.

Your sincerely
