WiFi Web Client Repeating

This example shows you how to make repeated HTTP requests using a WiFi shield. It connects to http://www.arduino.cc/latest.txt. The content of the page is viewable through your Arduino Software (IDE) serial window.

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

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.
