DFRobot wifi shield v2.2 for IoT

Hi everyone,
I'd like to know whether anyone has used DFRobot wifi shield v2.2 for IoT. I am trying to make this shield work with Blynk, but I'm stuck. Help required for any projects completed with this shield.
Thanks.

Thanks to follow up, so how did you solve it, library issue?

Sorry to hear that WizFi can not work with Blynk. BTW, why not try other cloud service? (I am not very know about IoT stuff...)

And thanks for your advice, you are in right-right place that our examples for our products are limited, we are working on this short board.

I did what you recommended. It finally worked.
However it would be desirable if DFRobot could provide the appropriate libraries for its shields (just like other vendors like Adafruit, SparkFun, etc).
Also I queried with Blynk. They do not currently support WizFi, on their platform.
Any idea how we could develop something with DFRobot wifi shield, to make it compatible with Blynk?
Thanks.

2016-07-29 10:41:37 Dear Leff,
I tried it again and again. I even installed the new arduino ide version 1.6.10.
I also reinstalled the WizFi libraries.
I am still getting the following errors:

Code: Select all

 prog_char Page1_Line0[] PROGMEM = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN\" ";   // "String 0" etc are strings to store - change to suit.

Kindly help me.

2016-07-27 07:54:52 Dear Leff,
I downloaded the WizFiShield library for this link: https://github.com/Wiznet/WizFiShield
After unzipping, you'll find 3 folders (Document, Hardware and Software). The libraries WizFiShield and TimerOne are in the Software folder.
Thanks fro testing and informing me.
Best Regards,

2016-07-27 01:46:17 Hi Ans,

I am not sure where did you get that library. May I have a link? Anyway, this is what I did today:

I got one from Github https://github.com/daleInMelbourne/Ardu ... 10_Library, however, it got problem that missing TimerOne.h

Code: Select all

C:\Users\God Bless DFrobot\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Arduino_WizFi210_Library-master\WizFi_Shield_Test\WizFi_Shield_Test.ino:26:22: fatal error: TimerOne.h: No such file or directory

 #include <TimerOne.h>

So I searched that file again, https://github.com/dalmirdasilva/Arduin ... r/TimerOne, but got another error as:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\God Bless DFrobot\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Arduino_WizFi210_Library-master\wizif210.c:2:27: fatal error: stm32f10x_lib.h: No such file or directory

 #include "stm32f10x_lib.h"

                           ^

compilation terminated.

Hope to test yours. Leff
