Wifi Shield (Fi250) V1.1 is a economic internet solution with Arduino. The Wi-Fi module support IEEE 802.11b/g/n mode, maximum speed up to 65Mbit/s. Wifi Shield (Fi250) V1.1 combine on board antenna; it’s easy to build you project in a small box. The module reserve a UFL connector, you can use an extra antenna to improve the signal range. There is a key on the board, just push one time to change wifi shield as AP mode. The module have a computer interface software, you can control and upgrade the module via USB-UART convertor. The wifi shield contain a Micro SD card socket, it’s like a recorder when wifi shield working as TCP, UDP server.

Usage


The demo we use a Arduino Leonardo, we suggest you use a hardware serial port, software is not fast enough to communicate with the Wifi module.

TCP Client

Install Wifi Shield (Fi250) library, download demo code Wizfi250_Client.

/*
//This demo use Arduino Leonardo or Seeeduino Lite. The jumper connect D0-WIFI_TX, D1_WIFI_RX; Let the boot pin not connect
*/
#include <Arduino.h>
#include "WizFi250.h"

#define SSID      "STEST" //Set your SSID
#define KEY       "87654321" //Set your phrase
#define AUTH       "WPA2" // Set the encrypt type


#define  HOST_IP       "192.168.168.185" //Set the TCP Server IP
#define  REMOTE_PORT    9090 //Set the port
#define LOCAL_PORT      1234  //Set the port

#define spi_CS  8

WizFi250 wizfi250(&Serial1);
boolean returnValue=false;
void setup() {

    Serial.begin(115200);
    Serial1.begin(115200);
    while (!Serial);
    pinMode(spi_CS,OUTPUT);
    Serial.println("--------- WIZFI250 TEST --------");
    // wait for initilization of Wizfi250
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Join " SSID );
    wizfi250.reset();
    delay(1000);
    wizfi250.sendCommand("AT+WLEAVE\r");
    delay(1000);
    if (!wizfi250.join(SSID, KEY, AUTH)) {
        Serial.println("Failed join " SSID);
        Serial.println("Please Restart");
    } else {

        Serial.println("Successfully join " SSID);
        wizfi250.sendCommand("AT+WSTAT\r");
        delay(5);
        char c;
        while(wizfi250.receive((uint8_t *)&c, 1, 100) > 0) {
            Serial.print((char)c);
        }
        delay(2000);
        returnValue=wizfi250.connect(HOST_IP,REMOTE_PORT,LOCAL_PORT);
        if(returnValue)
        Serial.println("Now you can send data to Server or receive data from Server!");
    }
}
void loop() {
    if(wizfi250.available()) {
        Serial.print((char)wizfi250.read());
    }
    if(Serial.available()) {
        wizfi250.print((char)Serial.read());
    }
}

Http Connect

WizFi250 wizfi250(&Serial1);
void setup() {

    Serial.begin(115200);
    Serial1.begin(115200);
    while (!Serial);
    pinMode(spi_CS,OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(spi_CS,HIGH);

    // wait for initilization of Wizfi250
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Join " SSID );
    delay(10);
    if (!wizfi250.join(SSID, KEY, AUTH)) {
        Serial.println("Failed join " SSID);
    } else {
        Serial.println("Successfully join  "  SSID);

        wizfi250.clear();

        wizfi250.connect(TSN_HOST_IP,TSN_REMOTE_PORT,LOCAL_PORT);
        delay(10);
        wizfi250.send("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n");
    }
    char c;
    for(int i=0;i<320;i++){
        if (wizfi250.receive((uint8_t *)&c, 1, 100) > 0) {
            Serial.print((char)c);
        }
    }
}
void loop() {
    while (wizfi250.available()) {
        Serial.write(wizfi250.read());
    }
    while (Serial.available()) {
        wizfi250.write(Serial.read());
    }
}

Reset the module

  • If you need to reset the module as factory default. press the function three times as fast speed. The MODE and WIF LED flash, wait the module reset.

  • If the module reset as default, the baud rate change to 115200. kindly note that.

One press set AP mode

  • It's easy to enter AP mode. Press the Function button, wait the WIFI LED change as red. You can scan the wifi signal, WizFi250_AP_*******

  • Press the wifi shield Fi250 reset button exit AP mode.

Upgrade firmware

The step for upgrade F/W show as below: Connect your wifi shield(Fi250) via UART directly,you can use a UartSBee or other UART tools

Before upgrade your F/W, you may set the module to Program mode (short BOOT jumper pin) wizfi250firmware

1st action

2nd action

3nd action

  • When you update successful, move the jumper and restart the module.
