wifi shield question

Hey,

I recently bough the dfrobot wifi shield.
I want to vist a website with the shield so i can send or recieve data over the internet.

I have set it up as client and it is connected with my router over wifi.

But i have no clue how to interface with this shield.

On the dfrobot manual is no example code.

Is this shield compatible with the arduino ethernet library?

I tried to make it work with the ethernet library but i cant get it to work.

Could anyone please help in the right direction or give me some sample code.

Thanks

2011-07-11 05:39:49 Yeah dfrobot really needs to make a tutorial. meviar

2011-07-11 02:37:32 No it is not compatible with the Ethernet library as the WiFi shield only uses RX and TX on the Arduino (data pins D0 and D1) while the Ethernet Shield uses D10,D11,D12 and D13 to send and receive data.

I too have a WiFi Shield and am having problems with writing sketches for it........

PLEASE MR DFROBOT give us beginners a library or a sample sketch for TCPIP and UDP so we can see how to make it work Paul
