Hello!
I have an application that was previously using the Arduino Ethernet shield that I not want to port to the Wifly shield.
I played with the library (alpha release 2) and to some extend was successful in changing my old sketch to the wifly shield. But now I have a problem: The data exchange speed is very slow. This is not because of my wireless router because I’m using a dedicated wireless router that is very near the board.
After a bit of investigation I found [some old posts on this forum that discuss the possibility of increasing the speed but I’m having trouble accomplishing that. Every time I change the line (on the spiUart.h library file)
#define BAUD_RATE_DEFAULT 9600
to something like
#define BAUD_RATE_DEFAULT 115200
The sketch will hang on Wifly.begin();
Note that when I change the line above (actually setting the SPI to UART bridge speed), I also change the Wifly module speed by adding the command:
sendCommand("set uart baudrate 115200");
to the WiflyDevice.cpp library file, effectively instructing the wifly module to change to the same speed.
This does not work
Anybody with experience on the library and the Wifly Shield feeling like discussing some solutions for this problem?
TIA,
Cheers,
