Ok, so this two errors seem to be resolved, but the main problem is there, Netduino continues getting freezed.......and the error is the same: Resolve: unknown type: Toolbox.NETMF.Hardware.IPWMPort Error: ff000000 I´m getting crazy.........I don´t know what to do. Maybe uninstall everything(visual Studio and sdk-s and everything) and reinstall again??

The IPWMPort is a type that's in the NETMF Toolbox, but not used for the wifly driver.

Do you use more components from the toolbox? If so, you may want to include Framework\Hardware\IPWMPort.cs.

Hi Stefan. Thank you very much for your help and suggests. Finally I uninstalled the sdk-s and reinstall again and rewrite the Netduino´s Firmware and it works!!! Actually I don´t know witch could be the real problem........... Now I´m trying to connect two of this modules one connected to a Netduino and another connected to a Pc(I know that I can do it dircctly to the PC but first I want to connect two of this devices).In the one connected to Netduino it creates well the socket but when it tryes to connect with the other, it can´t so I have an exception due to the time. Any clue???

Without code/error message, no clue at all!
But it's not a wifi adapter for the PC, it's a serial to wifi bridge. You need some code in between. My code is written for the .NET Micro Framework, not the regular framework.

[gomore11]

Yes yes, I know........I use the other module on the PC just to see if something arraives from the conection with CoolTerm software.

I have a netduino electronic dice roller that I want to enhance so that it sends stats to a website wirelessly. Why? Because I can, or hope I can ... So I'm not versed in all that you're talking about. Some questions: Are you using this WiFly module? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9954 Why do you need a xbee shield, whatever that is? Is there a latest version of the drivers you have talked about here? Thx!

[Stefan]

Are you using this WiFly module? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9954

Nope, I used this one:
https://www.sparkfun.../products/10822

Why do you need a xbee shield, whatever that is?

Because I used an xbee pin-out-compatible module. Benefit: it's cheaper and can also be used with other stuff like Netduino Go.

Is there a latest version of the drivers you have talked about here?

The latest version is always at http://www.netmftoolbox.com

_{By the way, for those who know that netmftoolbox thingy, I also added an SNTP client today}

When was this added and is there an example of it's simple usage to set the dateTime on the Netduino?

Thanks,
Donovan

Some time ago, and yes, all sample codes are available if you download the package

I have the toolbox.... will look again for an ntpvexample Thanks :-)

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the link... which reference do I need to add for "IntegratedSocket"?

I keep getting the following error:

The type or namespace name 'IntegratedSocket' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm running a Netduino Plus 2.

You can swap the integratedsocket for the wifi socket;

Hi Stefan,

Thanks... but now I don't know how to set the time as "Synchronize" is not part of SimpleSocket:

'Toolbox.NETMF.NET.SimpleSocket' does not contain a definition for 'Synchronize' and no extension method 'Synchronize' accepting a first argument of type 'Toolbox.NETMF.NET.SimpleSocket' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I've tried looking through the IntelliSense options for TimeClient but can't figure out which to use.

// Initializes the time client
            SimpleSocket TimeClient = new WiFlySocket("time-a.nist.gov", 123, WifiModule);
            // Displays the time in three ways:
            Debug.Print("Amount of seconds since 1 jan. 1900: " + TimeClient.NtpLookup());
            //Debug.Print("UTC time: " + TimeClient.UTCDate.ToString());
            //Debug.Print("Local time: " + TimeClient.LocalDate.ToString());
            // Synchronizes the internal clock
            TimeClient.Synchronize();

Try this:

            //SNTP_Client TimeClient = new SNTP_Client(new IntegratedSocket("time-a.nist.gov", 123));
            SNTP_Client TimeClient = new SNTP_Client(new WiFlySocket("time-a.nist.gov", 123, WifiModule));
            // Displays the time in three ways:
            Debug.Print("Amount of seconds since 1 jan. 1900: " + TimeClient.Timestamp.ToString());
            Debug.Print("UTC time: " + TimeClient.UTCDate.ToString());
            Debug.Print("Local time: " + TimeClient.LocalDate.ToString());
            // Synchronizes the internal clock
            TimeClient.Synchronize();

The WiFlySocket replaces the IntegratedSocket, not the whole SNTP_Client

Ah ha Perfect! Thanks for the help Stefan!

Is there a way to set the timezone just before the synchronize; as I need the times to be GMT +2? Thanks

[Stefan]

Is there a way to set the timezone just before the synchronize; as I need the times to be GMT +2?

I haven't found good timezone support in netmf so far , but I could be mistaken

[don664]

ok, as a work around, I am simply adding two hours when I call for the date and time:

DateTime.Now.AddHours(2)

Seems to work just fine for the moment

Thanks,

Hi 

I am testing the RN-XV WiFly Module driver.

But I don't know how to use socket to connect to my WCF Web service.

 

I see the example ,but don't understand how to modify it.

 

For example,if my webservice is http://test.sino.org...tMonitoringList

sorry can't post my real webservice url.

 

I use below code, but the Debug output shows  

 

I: ERR: Bad Addrrn

 

So how to write the correct socket data string to web service?

 

Thank you very much.

 

 

 // Creates a socket

SimpleSocket Socket = new WiFlySocket("test.sino.org/WCF1/Service1", 80, WifiModule);

// Connects to the socket
Socket.Connect();

// Does a plain HTTP request
 Socket.Send("GET /GetMonitoringList HTTP/1.1rn");
Socket.Send("Host: " + Socket.Hostname + "rn");
Socket.Send("Connection: Closern");
Socket.Send("rn");
