Cytron WiFi Shield

Hello may i ask, based on the wifi demo sketch below is it possible to send data to a different ip adress or cloud and which command is responsible for that ?

CODE: SELECT_ALL_CODE
#include <CytronWiFiShield.h>
#include <CytronWiFiClient.h>
#include <CytronWiFiServer.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

const char *ssid = "...";
const char *pass = "...";
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1 ,242);

void setup() {
 
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
  }
 
  if(!wifi.begin(2, 3))
  {
    Serial.println(F("Error talking to shield"));
    while(1);
  }
  Serial.println(wifi.firmwareVersion());
  Serial.print(F("Mode: "));Serial.println(wifi.getMode());// 1- station mode, 2- softap mode, 3- both
  // Uncomment these 2 lines if you are using static IP Address
  // Serial.println(F("Setup wifi config"));
  // wifi.config(ip);
  Serial.println(F("Start wifi connection"));
  if(!wifi.connectAP(ssid, pass))
  {
    Serial.println(F("Error connecting to WiFi"));
    while(1);
  }

  Serial.println(F("IP address: "));
  Serial.println(wifi.localIP());
  wifi.updateStatus();
  Serial.println(wifi.status()); //2- wifi connected with ip, 3- got connection with servers or clients, 4- disconnect with clients or servers, 5- no wifi
  clientTest();

  serverTest();
}

Hi,

You refer to function clientTest. It involves function to send data to external cloud.

You can also check out on few other examples such as WiFiThingspeak, PushingboxApi, GoogleHttpsRequest. They are the examples to send and record data to external server or cloud.

I checked the CytronGoogleFormHttps example, and uploaded it to my Arduino and at the serial monitor it displayed
"Failed to connect to server".
Do i need to change anything from the sketch apart from the wifi id and password ?

Hi,

You will need upgrade AT firmware. Please refer to the user manual section firmware upgrade.

alright thank you, the program works ! now may i know how to send data to our own spreadsheet ?
it relates to this command i presume ?

String url = "/forms/d/1472Zeb9kDfira_8WAQRbAAdCx0gy8dsgh5HI0vxeqlQ/formResponse";

what do i need to replace it with in order to send data to my own spreadsheet ?
your help is much appreciated

Sorry but I also have the exact problem but even when I have updated the firmware. It keeps on giving error when I trying to connect to docs.google.com. Not only that. The WiFi demo clientTest() also keep on stuck when I run it. When I skip it, it runs back to normal. Something is wrong with the latest firmware.

update: It works now somehow. Thank you.

Great! What is the problem that it does not work initially? I am sure others might face it too.

How to code cytron wifi shield with ultrasonic sensor to thingspeak? And how to flash the wifi shield? :cry:
