Shield – WiFi
The Arduino WiFi Shield connects your Arduino to the internet wirelessly. Connect it to
your wireless network by following a few simple instructions to start controlling your
world through the internet. As always with Arduino, every element of the platform –
hardware, software and documentation – is freely available and open-source. This
means you can learn exactly how it's made and use its design as the starting point for
your own circuits.
Check out the reference page of the WiFi library to understand how the shield can easily
provide an internet connection to your Arduino board.
Technical Specifications
Requires and Arduino board (not included)
Operating voltage 5V (supplied from the Arduino Board)
Connection via: 802.11b/g networks
Encryption types: WEP and WPA2 Persoanl
Connection with Arduino on SPI port
on-board micro SD slot
ICSP headers
FTDI connection for serial debugging of WiFi shield
Micro-USB for updating WiFi shield firmware
The WiFi Shield communicates with Arduino using the SPI bus (through the ICSP
header), so is compatible with any of the boards that have this type of bus.
This version of WiFi shield have an integrated antenna on the PCB, what you have to
do is just connect the shield to the Arduino.
