Hi All,
(First time poster here… bear with me if I stumble through this.)
I’m having a blast jumping into the maker/arduino community. I’ve come from web development and never expected open source to be stronger here. Awesome!
Here’s the Goal of the Project:
To build a RC Car that is controllable from anywhere in the world though the internet.
What I’m using:
I’ve gone with the Sparlfun redboard, roboclaw mc, and the sparkfun wifly shield. In addition I’m trying to tie the arduino to an iphone app via websockets and/or the [pusher api
So far:
I’ve had an easy enough time hooking everything up, programming the mc, and getting wifi to the wifly. However I’m stuck on connecting the wifly to a websocket.
There are numerous examples out there and this seems to have been a solved problem… back in 2012. I haven’t had any luck using the websocket client libraries that are out there for various reasons (doesn’t work with wifi, wifly, arduino 1.6, etc.). The WiflyHQ has an example, but I don’t believe the sparkfun wifly shield is supported with that lib (without bending pins, perhaps?)
Has anyone had luck connecting the wifly shield as a websocket client? If so could you help point me in the right direction?](https://pusher.com/)
