I bought this shield

http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=wifi&category_id=0&product_id=198

There isn't any info on the shield itself. Has anyone else bought it and gotten it to work?

It doesn't pickup an IP out of the box and I haven't been able to send to commands to it.

Anyone have some code they used or details on the shield jumpers?

Thanks

We've tested this wifi module for 24 hours running, there is no problem. Don't worry about the heat.  Just to remember put is away from any combustibles.

2011-01-29 22:49:35 Its not really that much power as I had thought, did some more testing. But it does get really hot. I am thinking of getting a heatsink or something for it.
Thanks I have it working well in client mode after a firmware update.

2011-01-28 23:04:43 I got it working in client mode after a firmware update.

Is it normal for it to get so hot? Its burning hot. Using a lot of power too.

2011-01-28 21:15:33 Thanks! I didn't find the default IP anyway, I was thinking it would be DHCP and use the wiznet app to find it. Thanks so much! userHeadPic mobilewill

2011-01-28 02:40:20 Quite easy to use, please read the datasheet of the chip.

Step 1: Connect the shield with your Arduino to your router. (default IP address is 192.168.1.254)
Step 2: Make sure that your router has 192.168.1.X IP address.
Step 3: Use your web browser to visit 192.168.1.254, you should the configuration page. If a window pop up, use the username:"admin" password:"admin".
Step 4: Make the right setting based on your project.

And .... I don't know, it is up to you know.

There are two sets of jumpers on the shield. 

The Serial jumpers is used to enable the serial command of the wifi chip.
The Wifi and USB jumpers are used to select the connection between wifi/Arduino, or Arduino/USB.
