Hi!
I have the third revision of the Wifly Shield for Arduino (it’s got the date stamp on the underside near the WiFi antenna and the chip with the 14mhz crystal, etc). I’m using Arduino 0023 and the Alpha 2 release of the Wifly library.
My Problem: With factory default settings (as far as I understand, in this state ip proto is set to 2), I can get the shield to connect to the WiFi network and LED P104 blinks green slowly (successful association). If I set IP proto to 1 (UDP mode), all else being equal, the board does not associate. If I set IP Proto to 3 (TCP and UDP) it will successfully associate, again all else being equal.
Everything I want to do works in this last state of affairs, but I am under the impression that UDP-only mode will somehow be faster than the combined mode. My project needs minimal latency.
I’ve tried a number of other settings to get the shield to work in UDP-only mode, without success. Instead of listing the plethora of combinations I’ve tried I thought I’d ask if you could point me in the right direction. If not, and my assumption that the combined mode is somehow slower happens to be flawed, I would welcome having my consciousness raised. I’ve tried searching for an answer elsewhere but have had no luck.
Best regards,
BK
