Wifly shield

[Alexplose]

Hi All,

I didn't found any topic about this but I'm wondering if it is possible to use a Wifly to control a multiwii ? like the BT_SERIAL mode ?
I allready have ordered a arduino pro mini and a wifly shield, i'd like to control it using a smartphone or a tablet.

I there any way to communicate from wifly to arduino pro mini using serial ? or juste program the wifly with multiwii and leave arduino pro mini out.

Thanks,

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the WiFly shield needs a TCP/IP stack on the arduino itself.

the BT_SERIAL mode relies on serial data being presented to the arduino.

To be able to fully reply to your question, I would need to analyse this module.

Ok thanks for your reply, I did bought the WiFly shield I can do some testing if you need.

It would be great if you could use Wifly only as a standalone multiwii controller. I'd like to build a tiny quad for indoor use via Wifi
The other parts I bought are used to build another quad that I will control with a RC.

We can work together on that.

My android app can and will probably expanded to use wifly shield, just let me know the exact features it does support.

(Remember, a non-rooted stock Android will not connect to ad-hoc wireless networks without major hacking.)

Yes we can, I hope I can find enough time.

I'm a .net developer, so I can start learning android sdk or ndk, and I have some basic knownledge on circuits.
I've a rooted HTC Desire HD.

Here is the manual for the WiFly board : http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Wire ... SX-um2.pdf
