Hello I am struggling to connect my Arduino Mega to Wifi.
The hardware I am trying to use is:
-Arduino Mega 2560
-Xbee s68 Wifi module with antenna
-Sparkfun Xbee Wifi shield
I want to connect to blynk over wifi using the Xbee module, but I only want to use the Xbee for Wifi. I need the large amount of I/O from the Mega. From what I understand, the Arduino shields for the Uno are compatible with the Mega.
The sparkfun shield has a slide switch to choose between uart and dline. The uart connects to the TX0 and RX0 of Arduino and the Dline when switched connects to Tx to pin 3 and Rx to pin 2 I believe.
I don’t have any unique code. I have been trying to use Wifi examples and Xbee.h examples. When I upload the code I get errors such as:
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer
the selected serial port avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer
does not exist or your board is not connected
Error while setting serial port parameters: 9,600 N 8 1
I have made sure that I am connected to the correct serial port and that I have the right board (Arduino Mega 2560 ) selected.
Please help me get started with solving this connection. Thanks.
