A cheap WiFi interface for Arduino

Thursday, December 27th, 2012

In this tutorial, Luca shows how to add WiFi connectivity to your Arduino boards without using a WiFi shield. Instead, he has combined a standard Ethernet shield with a commercial (and quite cheap) WiFi router:

I found the TL-WR702N nano router by TP-LINK that, with a cost of about 20€ on eBay, can work also as a wireless client: in this mode the router acts like a “bridge” between the device connected to its ethernet port and a Wi-fi network.

After a simple setup, where Luca configured the router as a WiFi client, the Arduino board has become accessible from the wireless network. Enjoy! :)

Arduino Wifi Shield is back on the store!

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012

We’re happy to announce the Arduino Wifi Shield being back on the Arduino Store. Since we launched it back in August we had an overwhelming request for the product that ended up in solding it out.

Welcome back, bro.
