connecting the Due board to a WiFi shield

Development Boards Arduino
1

Hi everyone…

I’d like to transmit live audio using an arduino board and a WiFi shield.

I’ve figured that 12-bit resolusion (ADC) should be enough for my purposes, but the WiFi shield is compatible only with the Uno or the Mega which have 8-bit ADC.

is it possible to connect the Due (w/ the 12-bit ADC) to the WiFi shield by increasing its voltage (using transistors) from 3.3v to 5v?

are there any other problems wiring the two?

please help,

Itay.

You may want to consider simply using the Wifly GSX breakout (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10050?) instead of the shield. The module runs off of 3.3v, and on the breakout board works over TTL serial communication instead of SPI like the shield.
