Resources and Going Further

This is just the basc hookup of the WiFly Shield. The shield works very well as a host or client. To use it as a host, many projects also include an SD Shield to hold large amounts of data to be served, rather than save them on the Arduino chip.

Check out the other examples you downloaded with the WiFly Shield library. There are some great web client and server examples as well as a lot of other great info on using the shield

To get the most out of your shield, be sure to read the reference guides and datasheets. Here are links to all the most important ones.
