Set for the First Time


The existing Arduino Ethernet and WIFI shields set IP address and MAC address in the source codes. Unlike those shields, PHPoC WiFi Shield for Arduino provides a function which manages environment parameters related to the network of the shield itself. Using this shield, therefore, makes Arduino source codes more concise.

Here is how to set up parameters related to wireless network on PHPoC WiFi Shield for Arduino for the first time. A smartphone or laptop is required for wireless LAN connection settings.
