it only works when an external power supply is used.

I am using a 9v battery soldered to the plug.

I never got mine working. I think I might have fried it when I tired to reset it with the 3.3V and P109. I just wish the piece wasn't so freaking expensive. I'll probably try to get another one in the winter time.

Are there any plans to have the WiFly part of the SecretLabs classes?

[Gilberto Garcia]

For best performance, I'd use the Netduino Plus with a WiFi Ethernet Bridge device. I know that a number of people have used Quiche's drivers...but I have not had a chance to use WiFly enough to have a good feel for performance.

I would like to add that I am currently using my Netduino Plus with a Netgear Universal Dual Band Wireless (WNCE3001). It requires a one time setup of SSID and password on the Wireless adapter, just follow the instructions.

I know I am a little late to the party here, but I have the wifly shield (WRL-09954) and mounted it to my netduino plus. with external power the lights on the shield light up. I have the drivers posted here, but I believe I need something else to interface with the shield directly to set it up first? Not sure exactly how to set up the shield. Secondly the post about the Netduino Plus with a Netgear Universal Dual Band Wireless (WNCE3001) I was wondering if anyone had used this successfully? I have a simple robot I have been working on, so far I have successfully sent commands to the netduino from a web page moving servos through the ethernet plug. But what good is an internet controlled robot when he is tethered to the router? Thanks for any input, Scott
