MultiTech WIFI Shield¶

This Arduino compatible shield from MultiTech provides Wireless-G connectivity to your MBED enabled baseboard with an easy-to-use library.

Jumper Settings¶

The following jumper configurations allow for easy compatibility with a wide range of MBED platforms. The following diagram shows which pins each header connects to.

Use one of the following configurations to connect the modem TX and RX signals to your baseboard. You can also manually route signals from the shield to the baseboard if necessary; see Signal Routing for more information.

Signal Routing¶

The following diagram shows the signal routing options between the shield and the baseboard, which are based on the configuration of the jumpers on the shield. If necessary, jumper wires can be used to route signals to other pins.

Code¶

The SocketModem library can be found here:

Example programs can be found on the 2014 AT&T Hackathon team page.

The following example program is a good place to start. It simply gets the wireless connection up and running and pings a DNS server.

The datasheet for the Roving Networks wifi module on the shield can be found here.
