Simple Web Server WiFi
In this example, a simple web server lets you blink an LED via the web. This example will print the IP address of your WiFi Shield (once connected) to the Arduino Software (IDE) serial monitor. Once you know the IP address of our board, you can open that address in a web browser to turn on and off the LED on pin 9.
If the IP address of your shield is yourAddress:
http://yourAddress/H turns the LED on
http://yourAddress/L turns it off
This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For WEP or WPA, change the Wifi.begin() call accordingly.
Hardware Required
- Arduino WiFi Shield
- Shield-compatible Arduino or Genuino board
- (optional) Six analog sensors attached to Analog Pins 0-5
Circuit
The WiFi shield uses pins 10, 11, 12, and 13 for the SPI connection to the HDG104 module. Digital pin 4 is used to control the slave select pin on the SD card.
You should have access to a 802.11b/g wireless network that connects to the internet for this example. You will need to change the network settings in the sketch to correspond to your particular networks SSID.
For networks using WPA/WPA2 Personal encryption, you need the SSID and password. The shield will not connect to networks using WPA2 Enterprise encryption.
WEP network passwords are hexadecimal strings known as keys. A WEP network can have 4 different keys; each key is assigned a "Key Index" value. For WEP encrypted networks, you need the SSID, the key, and key number.

In the above image, the Arduino or Genuino board would be stacked below the WiFi shield.
