Can anyone provide an example with Wifly shield?

[errordeveloper]

@frasermac does it still require a patch or it actually works out-of-the box? You've had an example somewhere, IIRC?

[frasermac]

@eduardoa give this one a try - it's from a while back but might make a good start?

#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFly.h>
#include <HttpClient.h>
#include <xively_arduino.h>

#define API_KEY "INSERT_API_KEY_HERE" // your Xively API key
#define FEED_ID INSER_FEED_ID_HERE // your Xively feed ID

char ssid[] = "MyWiFiAccessPointSSID";
char passphrase[] = "MyWiFiPassword";

unsigned long lastConnectionTime = 0;                // last time we connected to Xively
const unsigned long connectionInterval = 3000;      // delay between connecting to Xively in milliseconds
int sensorPin = 2;

char sensorId1[] = "Binary";  // Give a name to our datastream ID
char sensorId2[] = "Float";  // Give a name to our datastream ID
char sensorId3[] = "Int";  // Give a name to our datastream ID
String stringId("String");

XivelyDatastream datastreams[] = {
  XivelyDatastream(sensorId1, strlen(sensorId1), DATASTREAM_INT),
  XivelyDatastream(sensorId2, strlen(sensorId2), DATASTREAM_FLOAT),
  XivelyDatastream(sensorId3, strlen(sensorId3), DATASTREAM_INT),
  XivelyDatastream(stringId, DATASTREAM_STRING),
};

XivelyFeed feed(FEED_ID, datastreams, 4 /* number of datastreams */);  // Wrap the datastream into a feed

WiFlyClient client;
XivelyClient xivelyclient(client);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Starting sketch.");

  randomSeed(analogRead(0));

  WiFly.begin();

  if (!WiFly.join(ssid, passphrase)) {
    Serial.println("Association failed.");
    while (1) {
      // Hang on failure.
    }
  }
  WiFly.setAntenna(1);
  Serial.print("WiFly IP: ");    
  Serial.println(WiFly.ip());
}

void loop() {

  //if (millis() - lastConnectionTime > connectionInterval) {
    Serial.println();
    sendData();
    // getData();                                  // read the datastream back from Xively
    lastConnectionTime = millis();              // update connection time so we wait before connecting again
  //}

}

// send the supplied value to Xively, printing some debug information as we go
void sendData() {
  int val1 = random(0,2);
  Serial.println(val1);
  datastreams[0].setInt(val1);

  int val2 = random(20,50);
  Serial.println(val2);
  datastreams[1].setFloat(val2);

  int val3 = random(20,50);
  Serial.println(val3);
  datastreams[2].setInt(val3);

  // Pick a random number to send up in a string
  String stringValue(random(100));
  stringValue += " is random";
  datastreams[3].setString(stringValue);
  //Serial.println(datastreams[3].getString());

  Serial.println("Uploading to Xively");

  int timeStart = millis();
  int ret = xivelyclient.put(feed, API_KEY);
  int timeFinish = millis() - timeStart;

  Serial.print("PUT time (ms): ");
  Serial.println(timeFinish);
  Serial.print("PUT return code: ");
  Serial.println(ret);
  Serial.println();
}

// get the value of the datastream from Xively, printing out the value we received
void getData() {
  Serial.println("Reading data from Xively");

  int timeStart = millis();  
  int ret = xivelyclient.get(feed, API_KEY);
  int timeFinish = millis() - timeStart;
  Serial.print("GET time (ms): ");
  Serial.println(timeFinish);
  Serial.print("GET return code: ");
  Serial.println(ret);  
}

@eduardoa have that example worked for you?

[eduardoa]

No, I have multiple errors. The library I think it isn't the same ... I tried to adapt it without luck, so far I have not much time to spend.

[eduardoa]

Hi @frasermac
Can you tell me which library Wifly used? The Sparkfun not ... latest version say ...

[errordeveloper]

I am closing this issue as the WiFly shield is not officially supposed.
