Hello, I recently bought the Netduino 3 Wifi and I have a few questions about it. This is my first Netduino device so please excuse me if my questions sound a bit noobish.

 

 

 

1. Is it possible to do P2P communication using Wifi? I'd like to send commands directly to it with my phone.

2. How do I make it connect to my Wifi network at home (WPA and AES). I tried using MFDeploy but for some reason it cannot get a correct IP address. I think there must be something wrong with my settings. I chose WPA and PEAP (Im not sure about that one).

3. Is there a site where I can find a bunch of samples? I looked a bit on the forum but I couldn't find any specifically for the 3 Wifi version.

Hi Nerdiator,

1. Is it possible to do P2P communication using Wifi? I'd like to send commands directly to it with my phone.

There is no Wi-Fi P2P setup in NETMF, although you could hack the Netduino firmware to accomplish this if you wanted to. You can also tether the Netduino to your phone via Wi-Fi...which might give you the ability to communicate directly.

2. How do I make it connect to my Wifi network at home (WPA and AES). I tried using MFDeploy but for some reason it cannot get a correct IP address. I think there must be something wrong with my settings. I chose WPA and PEAP (Im not sure about that one).

MFDeploy is a bit confusing; sorry about that. Enter your WPA key and set the settings to "WPA" and "None". Make sure that DHCP is selected. If that doesn't work, let's log into your router and see if it's trying to give your board an address.

3. Is there a site where I can find a bunch of samples? I looked a bit on the forum but I couldn't find any specifically for the 3 Wifi version.

The good news here is that Netduino 3 Wi-Fi uses the standard System.Net Sockets, HttpWebRequest, SslStream, etc. So pretty much any Netduino Plus or Netduino Plus 2 project should just run as-is...and you can borrow from a lot of other .NET code too.

Welcome to the Netduino community!

Chris,

 

I think the new Netduino 3 WiFi is a great improvement to the Netduino. I have seen a configuation tool on the app store for the TI 3000. Can the app be used to configure the WiFi setting on the new board?
