WIFI_Shield_V3_PCB_Antenna_SKU_TEL0078
- This WiFi shield supports AP+STA dual mode, and connecting to the router WiFi network is very convenient. You only need a mobilephone or PAD to log in the AP network of this module(similar to the way log in the router).After logging in the module,it can be set to connect the WIFI network.(Don't need the AT command to set the module,which is often very complex.)
- This module uses the dynamic power management to achieve low power consumption (standby: <80uA; normal mode:average:8mA; peak:200mA).If used to design products, not only relatively low power consumption, but also can be set to standby mode. The module provides UART(TTL) to IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless communication. IEEE802.11n is a newest wireless transmission protocol approved by IEEE.It has many features such as: higher transmission speed, wide coverage, strong compatibility, more safety and so on. At present, many wireless electronic equipment manufacturers have been applied this standard(IEEE802.11n) in a large number of products. Through this module, any device with UART can easily set up a wireless network to realize the remote management and control.

LED indicator: *Power: Power supply OK *Link: Connected to the WiFi network completed *Ready: Initialization completed Buttons on the shield: *RST: Reset the Arduino controller *Reload: When press it down more than 3 seconds and loosen it,the WIFI shield will restore factory settings. Switches on the shield: *Arduino: Establish the communication between WIFI shield and Arduino *Programme: Disconnect the communication between WIFI shield and Arduino *USB: Establish the communication between WIFI shield and the USB interface, which can be directly send and receive data from the USB interface. Jumpers on the shield: *D11 Sleep_RQ ：Jump to D11 pin，dormancy control input of the WIFI shield.When in the normal working state, set it to low level, and after 5 seconds,set it to high level, the WIFI shield will enter a state of dormancy;When in the dormancy state, set it to low level, and after 2 seconds,set it to high level,the WIFI shield will enter the normal working state.When not using this pin,jump to the other side of the D11 font. *D12 Sleep_ON ：Jump to D12 pin,dormancy state output pin of the WIFI shield.The electrical level of this pin is used to indicate working state of the shiled.When low,the shield is in sleep mode;When high,the shield is in the normal working state.When not using this pin,jump to the other side of the D12 font.
This WIFI shield can set up an AP network. You can use your computer or mobile phone or PAD to log in this AP network to set the parameters of this WIFI shield. Compared with other WIFI shileds, AT commands are not need. So it is very easy and convenient to use this WIFI shield.
NOTE:The AP network set up by this WIFI shiled only allow one device to log in! 1.Put this WIFI shield on the Arduino board and connect to your computer with USB cable.The computer can access a wireless network.Then you should upload a program independent of UART, such as Blink. When programming, the switch should be turned to PROGRAMME. When done, it should be turned to USB.
2.Search for wireless network in the computer,and then you should see the network whose name is DFROBOT_WIFI_SHIELD_V3. Connect to it.Then you can log in the AP network by the Internet Explorer.Input 10.10.100.254 in the address bar,then input the user name and the password,you will log in the AP network.This process is similar to log in a router.
Factory setting of this WIFI shield:
SSID ：DFROBOT_WIFI_SHIELD_V3
IP Address ：10.10.100.254
Subnet Mask：255.255.255.0
User Name ：admin
Password ：admin
3.In the option of Work Mode,please select the mode: AP+STA mode.
Note :You should click the save button after each setting.If you need other setting,click back button and continue your other settings.Finally restart the shield, the settings will be taken effect.
4.In the option of STA Setting,click the scan button to search the wireless you want to connect.In this example,I want to connect to DFRobot WIFI.
5.Then input the wireless password and click the save button.
6.In the option of Other Setting,you should revise the network parameters setting as the following picture.
Note:The server address should be in the same IP address range of the wireless network!In this example,it is 10.0.1.8 .（It is your computer's IP address, using as TEL0078's Server.）
Protocol ：TCP-Client
Port ID ：8899
Server Address ：10.0.1.8
TCP Time Out Setting：300
7.Restart the shield.
8.Search the wireless network whose name is DFROBOT_WIFI_SHIELD_V3 and connect to it.You can log in the AP network by the Internet Explorer to see the parameters.If the WIFI shiled connect to the WIFI network successfully,the LINK LED will be ON and also you can see the parameters such as Router SSID,Signal Strength,IP Address and MAC Address.
9.Let your computer connect to the wirelss network which has connnected by the WIFI shiled.In this example,I connect to DFRobot WIFI.
10.Open the software USR-TCP232-Test RS232 to Ethernet Convert tester.Choose the PortNum of the arduino COM(you can look up the portnum in the device manager) and click the open button.After that,you should revise the NetSettings.The protocol is TCP Server and the Local host port is the PORT ID we just set.That is 8234.Click the connect button.You will find that data can be received and sended between UART and network port.
Note:When you use the software USR-TCP232-Test RS232 to Ethernet Convert tester,you'd better close the firewall!
