SFE_CC3000_Library

Arduino library for the TI CC3000 WiFi Shield and Breakout Board.

Version

v1.6

Known Issues

Note that the SFE_CC3000_Library was tested with CC3000 firmware v1.24.

The following are known problems with the library and are being actively worked on:

• Tx/Rx buffers for the CC3000 can easily overflow. Buffer checks need to be added to the library.
• AES encryption for SmartConfig is not supported.
• Static IP is not working at this time (only DHCP works).
• HTTP POST requests work but do not print the whole server response to the console.
• The library does not work with any Teensey boards. Only ATmega328- and ATmega2560-based Arduinos have been tested.
• UDP has been tested for transmit only. Receiving UDP packets on the CC3000 is currently not working.

Getting Started

• Download the Git repository as a ZIP ("Download ZIP" button)
• Unzip
• Copy the entire directory (SFE_CC3000_Library) to /libraries
• Open the Arduino program
• Select File -> Examples -> SFE_CC3000_Library -> WebClient
• Change ap_ssid and ap_password to match your WiFi's SSID and password
• If your WiFi's security is anything other than WPA2, change ap_security to one of WLAN_SEC_UNSEC, WLAN_SEC_WEP, WLAN_SEC_WPA, or WLAN_SEC_WPA2
• Plug in your Arduino and CC3000 board
• Go to Tools -> Board and select your Arduino board
• Go to Tools -> Serial Port and select the COM port of your Arduino board
• Click "Upload"
• Go to Tools -> Serial Monitor
• Ensure the baud rate is set at 115200 baud
• The program should connect and print out the HTML of www.example.com
