Arduino Wi Fi

[MarcosBelgo]

Hello,

I am making a system to comunicate Labview with Arduino using an module Wi Fi. 

I want use a network from my company to transmit datas from Arduino.

Where I begin to make this comunication? What I have to know aboult my network?

Thanks.

Hello Marcos,

Could you give more details about the application you want to build? It would help knowing more about the components you are using.

Do you know LINX from MakersHUB? If you don't, "The LINX by LabVIEW MakerHub makes it easy to interface with common embedded platforms such as chipKIT, Arduino, and NI myRIO as well as common sensors."

Here is some useful Links:

Depending on your company you may have to get "permssion" to attach a WiFi device to the company network. At least that is how it is at my company, not just anyone can attach any device to the company WiFi hotspots. You need more than your network login, the device MAC address has to be on the "allowed" list or it will never connect to the company WiFi hotspots.

But in general once you are connected you will need to know the IP address your Arduino receives when it is on the network.

Then use the TCP interface option in Linx to comunicate with your Arduino

Thanks for your attention Ale_Ogata.

So, I dont know what Wi Fi shield I will use. Can you recommend one? I want use the more cheap.

The system is symple, an Arduino monitoring and sending times of events from my process. The system will stay in the factory and runing 24 hours. 

Thanks

I haven't used a Wi-Fi Shield/Module myself, so I can't recommend one, but you should be able to find some models for less than $10.

As RTSLVU said once you can connect your arduino, you should be able to communicate with your arduino using the TCP interface in LINX.
