Hi guys,
I have a TinySine Wifi shield, which I understand uses the WiFly-EZX. At least that is what shows up in my Linksys router ID as a DHCP client. I have it configured for my network and I can ping it and everything. But I dont know how to use it. Id like to find a tutorial to help me get talking to it. Im basically interested in posting data to a web server.
Thanks
You haven’t used Google…
Yes I have, but I think im not sure what to look for. I have found tutorials for the arduino wifi shield on arduino UNO board. I have found tinysine tutorials about gsm shields and some videos on configuring the tinysine shield but I havent found any tutorials on how to communicate to a server using the tinysine wifi shield for arduino.
Could you point me to any?
Right now Im just looking through the Github repo…oh wait. It seems that I had been trying to use the WiFlySerial library. Im downloading the WiFly library now and Im about to test it out.
Here is the image
My product is a Tinysine wifi shield for arduino.
On my router it shows up in the dhcp clients table as wiz-ezx.
Is the Wifly the correct library?
searching for “tinysine wifi shield tutorial” turned up a manual for the tinysine… Plus more links that I haven’t visited.
Yes I know. Just to out your kind at ease, not being lazy. First I found the tinysine YouTube video and tried to get around the windows only configuration tool. I then found the manual and learned about configuring it via a terminal. I tried thru screen but could never connect. Then I used the serial monitor on Arduino IDE. I was able to use $$$ to make it connect to my wifi network. Then I started looking for tutorials and just found more instructions manuals and getting started guides. Finally today I ran I to WiFly Serial library, then the WiFly library and finally the WiFlyHQ library. I’m currently using this library and some of its examples to make a post response to a server.
The problem I’m having now is that I get a failed to set prompt error and wifly is rebooting.
Any ideas?
Apparently its intermittent. I just came to my house, loaded up the tinsyine & it fetched the entire website santiapps.com. I saw it being logged in the serial monitor. I quickly stopped it and changed the site to be fetched for a single page: santiapps.com/arduino/SamplePost.html. And it fails and gives me this:

WiFly has crashed and will reboot…
I am trying to get a single html page downloaded but I get this:

Hello Guys!
I get the same problem trying to connect the Arduino to a web server, you found any solution?
My issue turned out to be a php error on my server.
