'''Q2. Red LED（D1）not on'''

A2：If the program has been downloaded to Arduino, yet red LED（D1）on Cuhead V1.0 is not on, which means Wi-Fi not connected,please check below part.

Check the IP address,default gate way and subnet mask in the code if it is right with the WiFi routor settings.

And check the SSID、PASSWORD and encryption method. Or you can reset Cuhead V2.0/Arduino module and reconnect them.

Check the jump line parts:

*INTX1, used to choose to interrupt mode, jump line 1, 2 pin is D8, jump line 2, 3 pin is D2. No influence on the use of Cuhead V2.0, not normally use.

*Flash_sn, jump line 1, 2 pin is SS, jump line 2, 3 pin is CS, when you using Wi-Fi choice SS, make Flash invalid.

*Wi-Fi connection indicator light, jump line 1, 2 pin. Cuhead V2.0 leave factory, need to jump line of the part we have adjusted, you can use directly.

'''Q3. Using UNO R3'''

A3:When Cuhead V2.0 connected to Arduino UNO R3, Cuhead V2.0 may be unable to connect to wifi.

You need to download the latest version of the Bootloader to Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

Open optiboot folder ( X: \ arduino-XXXX \ hardware \ arduino\ bootloaders \ optiboot )

[[File:Cuhead 15.jpg]]

Bootloader (.hex file) download to corresponding version of the Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

'''Q4.I have your Cuhead module,but when i connect it with my Arduino Mega 2560,it is not working.what can i do now?'''

A4:Please check the connections with the arduino board carefully,it is different with different arduino boards.

For example,Arduino Mega uses different pins for the SPI interface than the previous boards, so you may not able to use the headers to stack the shield onto the Mega.

And you may have to pull pins to match the correct SPI pins to get it working.

A2：If the program has been downloaded to Arduino, yet red LED（D1）on Cuhead V1.0 is not on, which means Wi-Fi not connected,please check below part.

Check the IP address,default gate way and subnet mask in the code if it is right with the WiFi routor settings.

And check the SSID、PASSWORD and encryption method. Or you can reset Cuhead V2.0/Arduino module and reconnect them.

Check the jump line parts:

*INTX1, used to choose to interrupt mode, jump line 1, 2 pin is D8, jump line 2, 3 pin is D2. No influence on the use of Cuhead V2.0, not normally use.

*Flash_sn, jump line 1, 2 pin is SS, jump line 2, 3 pin is CS, when you using Wi-Fi choice SS, make Flash invalid.

*Wi-Fi connection indicator light, jump line 1, 2 pin. Cuhead V2.0 leave factory, need to jump line of the part we have adjusted, you can use directly.

'''Q3. Using UNO R3'''

A3:When Cuhead V2.0 connected to Arduino UNO R3, Cuhead V2.0 may be unable to connect to wifi.

You need to download the latest version of the Bootloader to Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

Open optiboot folder ( X: \ arduino-XXXX \ hardware \ arduino\ bootloaders \ optiboot )

[[File:Cuhead 15.jpg]]

Bootloader (.hex file) download to corresponding version of the Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

'''Q4.I have your Cuhead module,but when i connect it with my Arduino Mega 2560,it is not working.what can i do now?'''

A4:Please check the connections with the arduino board carefully,it is different with different arduino boards.

For example,Arduino Mega uses different pins for the SPI interface than the previous boards, so you may not able to use the headers to stack the shield onto the Mega.

And you may have to pull pins to match the correct SPI pins to get it working.

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino Mega

2012-11-14T09:59:38Z

Nancy: /* FAQ */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce LinkSprite CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino Mega（hereafter we call Cuhead Mega).

Cuhead Mega use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead Mega adopt standard Arduino Mega laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino, MEGA, Romeo, etc.

[[File:Mega 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead Mega has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead Mega wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead Mega so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead Mega or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead Mega connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead Mega, the charging circuit on Cuhead Mega will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead Mega is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead Mega has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Wi-Fi Transceiver Module Features'''

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino V2.0

2012-11-14T09:57:30Z

Nancy: /* Programming */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce Cuhead WiFi Shield V2.0（hereafter we call Cuhead V2.0).

Cuhead V2.0 use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead V2.0 adopt standard Arduino laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino Diecimila/Duemilanove/Uno etc.

[[File:Cuhead 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead V2.0 has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead V2.0 wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead V2.0 so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead V2.0 or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead V2.0 connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead V2.0, the charging circuit on Cuhead V2.0 will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead V2.0 is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead V2.0 has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Increase the Flash memory chip'''

The increase of the Flash memory chip is serial interface of the Flash memory chip, it can work in 2.5 V-2.7 V, can be used as program code data storage. Flash memory chip and Arduino are used together SPI interface, the speed can be up to 66 MHz. It contains 17301504 bytes, is organized for 4096 page, each page 512 or 528 bytes. In addition to main memory, the Flash memory chip also includes two SRAM data buffer, each buffer 512/528 bytes. When main memory is programming, buffer is allowed to receive the data, and to support data stream write. And the Flash memory chip allow simple in the system to programming, without having to input high programming voltage. It can through the # CS Enable, and through the three line interface (SI, SO, SCK) in data communication.

Because Cuhead V2.0 Flash memory chip and Arduino uses the same SPI interface, we through the Cuhead V2.0 module of the flash_sn jump line to select is public SS or CS. The flash_sn connect 1, 2 pin is SS, connect 2,3 pins for CS.

When Cuhead V2.0 need to use Wi-Fi choose SS, make Flash is invalid, so Wi-Fi can accurately to receive information, and deal with the IP protocol. If this time not banned Flash, data through the SPI send come over, Flash and Arduino will receive the data and have the conflict.

== FAQ ==

'''Q1. Program can't be compiled'''

A1：Check these if you found that the example we provide cannot compile.

Whether you choose the right Board. You should choose the board you are using when compile.

Here enter ZG2100BasedWiFiShield[[File:Cuhead 12.jpg]] , and open apps-conf.h

[[File:Cuhead 13.jpg]]

To prevent repeated quotation of the same file, which will cause compile error like duplicate definition and nested quoted.

You have to change it here according to your needs. To different examples, the macro definition is different, the default is:

'''#define APP_WISERVER'''

[[File:Cuhead 14.jpg]]

If you want to use another example, such as how to use webserver.h,

'''#define APP_WEBSERVER'''

'''//#define APP_WISERVER'''

'''Q2. Red LED（D1）not on'''

A2：If the program has been downloaded to Arduino, yet red LED（D1）on Cuhead V1.0 is not on, which means Wi-Fi not connected,please check below part.

Check the IP address,default gate way and subnet mask in the code if it is right with the WiFi routor settings.

And check the SSID、PASSWORD and encryption method. Or you can reset Cuhead V2.0/Arduino module and reconnect them.

Check the jump line parts:

*INTX1, used to choose to interrupt mode, jump line 1, 2 pin is D8, jump line 2, 3 pin is D2. No influence on the use of Cuhead V2.0, not normally use.

*Flash_sn, jump line 1, 2 pin is SS, jump line 2, 3 pin is CS, when you using Wi-Fi choice SS, make Flash invalid.

*Wi-Fi connection indicator light, jump line 1, 2 pin. Cuhead V2.0 leave factory, need to jump line of the part we have adjusted, you can use directly.

'''Q3. Using UNO R3'''

A3:When Cuhead V2.0 connected to Arduino UNO R3, Cuhead V2.0 may be unable to connect to wifi.

You need to download the latest version of the Bootloader to Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

Open optiboot folder ( X: \ arduino-XXXX \ hardware \ arduino\ bootloaders \ optiboot )

[[File:Cuhead 15.jpg]]

Bootloader (.hex file) download to corresponding version of the Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

'''Q4.I have your Cuhead module,but when i connect it with my Arduino Mega 2560,it is not working.what can i do now?'''

A4:Please check the connections with the arduino board carefully,it is different with different arduino boards.

For example,Arduino Mega uses different pins for the SPI interface than the previous boards, so you may not able to use the headers to stack the shield onto the Mega.

And you may have to pull pins to match the correct SPI pins to get it working.

*Flash_sn, jump line 1, 2 pin is SS, jump line 2, 3 pin is CS, when you using Wi-Fi choice SS, make Flash invalid.

*Wi-Fi connection indicator light, jump line 1, 2 pin. Cuhead V2.0 leave factory, need to jump line of the part we have adjusted, you can use directly.

'''Q3. Using UNO R3'''

A3:When Cuhead V2.0 connected to Arduino UNO R3, Cuhead V2.0 may be unable to connect to wifi.

You need to download the latest version of the Bootloader to Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

Open optiboot folder ( X: \ arduino-XXXX \ hardware \ arduino\ bootloaders \ optiboot )

[[File:Cuhead 15.jpg]]

Bootloader (.hex file) download to corresponding version of the Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

'''Q4.I have your Cuhead module,but when i connect it with my Arduino Mega 2560,it is not working.what can i do now?'''

A4:Please check the connections with the arduino board carefully,it is different with different arduino boards.

For example,Arduino Mega uses different pins for the SPI interface than the previous boards, so you may not able to use the headers to stack the shield onto the Mega.

And you may have to pull pins to match the correct SPI pins to get it working.

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino V2.0

2012-11-14T09:53:15Z

Nancy: /* Programming */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce Cuhead WiFi Shield V2.0（hereafter we call Cuhead V2.0).

Cuhead V2.0 use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead V2.0 adopt standard Arduino laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino Diecimila/Duemilanove/Uno etc.

[[File:Cuhead 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead V2.0 has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead V2.0 wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead V2.0 so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead V2.0 or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead V2.0 connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead V2.0, the charging circuit on Cuhead V2.0 will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead V2.0 is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead V2.0 has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Increase the Flash memory chip'''

The increase of the Flash memory chip is serial interface of the Flash memory chip, it can work in 2.5 V-2.7 V, can be used as program code data storage. Flash memory chip and Arduino are used together SPI interface, the speed can be up to 66 MHz. It contains 17301504 bytes, is organized for 4096 page, each page 512 or 528 bytes. In addition to main memory, the Flash memory chip also includes two SRAM data buffer, each buffer 512/528 bytes. When main memory is programming, buffer is allowed to receive the data, and to support data stream write. And the Flash memory chip allow simple in the system to programming, without having to input high programming voltage. It can through the # CS Enable, and through the three line interface (SI, SO, SCK) in data communication.

Because Cuhead V2.0 Flash memory chip and Arduino uses the same SPI interface, we through the Cuhead V2.0 module of the flash_sn jump line to select is public SS or CS. The flash_sn connect 1, 2 pin is SS, connect 2,3 pins for CS.

When Cuhead V2.0 need to use Wi-Fi choose SS, make Flash is invalid, so Wi-Fi can accurately to receive information, and deal with the IP protocol. If this time not banned Flash, data through the SPI send come over, Flash and Arduino will receive the data and have the conflict.

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino Mega

2012-11-14T09:50:53Z

Nancy: /* Hardware Installation */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce LinkSprite CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino Mega（hereafter we call Cuhead Mega).

Cuhead Mega use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead Mega adopt standard Arduino Mega laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino, MEGA, Romeo, etc.

[[File:Mega 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead Mega has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead Mega wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead Mega so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead Mega or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead Mega connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead Mega, the charging circuit on Cuhead Mega will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead Mega is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino V2.0

2012-11-14T09:38:20Z

Nancy: /* Resources */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce Cuhead WiFi Shield V2.0（hereafter we call Cuhead V2.0).

Cuhead V2.0 use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead V2.0 adopt standard Arduino laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino Diecimila/Duemilanove/Uno etc.

[[File:Cuhead 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead V2.0 has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead V2.0 wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead V2.0 so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead V2.0 or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead V2.0 connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead V2.0, the charging circuit on Cuhead V2.0 will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead V2.0 is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead V2.0 has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Increase the Flash memory chip'''

The increase of the Flash memory chip is serial interface of the Flash memory chip, it can work in 2.5 V-2.7 V, can be used as program code data storage. Flash memory chip and Arduino are used together SPI interface, the speed can be up to 66 MHz. It contains 17301504 bytes, is organized for 4096 page, each page 512 or 528 bytes. In addition to main memory, the Flash memory chip also includes two SRAM data buffer, each buffer 512/528 bytes. When main memory is programming, buffer is allowed to receive the data, and to support data stream write. And the Flash memory chip allow simple in the system to programming, without having to input high programming voltage. It can through the # CS Enable, and through the three line interface (SI, SO, SCK) in data communication.

Because Cuhead V2.0 Flash memory chip and Arduino uses the same SPI interface, we through the Cuhead V2.0 module of the flash_sn jump line to select is public SS or CS. The flash_sn connect 1, 2 pin is SS, connect 2,3 pins for CS.

When Cuhead V2.0 need to use Wi-Fi choose SS, make Flash is invalid, so Wi-Fi can accurately to receive information, and deal with the IP protocol. If this time not banned Flash, data through the SPI send come over, Flash and Arduino will receive the data and have the conflict.

[[File:Cuhead 11.jpg]]

== FAQ ==

'''Q1. Program can't be compiled'''

A1：Check these if you found that the example we provide cannot compile.

Whether you choose the right Board. You should choose the board you are using when compile.

Here enter ZG2100BasedWiFiShield[[File:Cuhead 12.jpg]] , and open apps-conf.h

[[File:Cuhead 13.jpg]]

To prevent repeated quotation of the same file, which will cause compile error like duplicate definition and nested quoted.

You have to change it here according to your needs. To different examples, the macro definition is different, the default is:

'''#define APP_WISERVER'''

[[File:Cuhead 14.jpg]]

If you want to use another example, such as how to use webserver.h,

'''#define APP_WEBSERVER'''

'''//#define APP_WISERVER'''

'''Q2. Red LED（D1）not on'''

A2：If the program has been downloaded to Arduino, yet red LED（D1）on Cuhead V1.0 is not on, which means Wi-Fi not connected,please check below part.

Check the IP address,default gate way and subnet mask in the code if it is right with the WiFi routor settings.

And check the SSID、PASSWORD and encryption method. Or you can reset Cuhead V2.0/Arduino module and reconnect them.

Check the jump line parts:

*INTX1, used to choose to interrupt mode, jump line 1, 2 pin is D8, jump line 2, 3 pin is D2. No influence on the use of Cuhead V2.0, not normally use.

*Flash_sn, jump line 1, 2 pin is SS, jump line 2, 3 pin is CS, when you using Wi-Fi choice SS, make Flash invalid.

*Wi-Fi connection indicator light, jump line 1, 2 pin. Cuhead V2.0 leave factory, need to jump line of the part we have adjusted, you can use directly.

'''Q3. Using UNO R3'''

A3:When Cuhead V2.0 connected to Arduino UNO R3, Cuhead V2.0 may be unable to connect to wifi.

You need to download the latest version of the Bootloader to Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

Open optiboot folder ( X: \ arduino-XXXX \ hardware \ arduino\ bootloaders \ optiboot )

[[File:Cuhead 15.jpg]]

Bootloader (.hex file) download to corresponding version of the Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

'''Q4.I have your Cuhead module,but when i connect it with my Arduino Mega 2560,it is not working.what can i do now?'''

A4:Please check the connections with the arduino board carefully,it is different with different arduino boards.

For example,Arduino Mega uses different pins for the SPI interface than the previous boards, so you may not able to use the headers to stack the shield onto the Mega.

And you may have to pull pins to match the correct SPI pins to get it working.

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino Mega

2012-11-14T09:38:03Z

Nancy: /* Resources */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce LinkSprite CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino Mega（hereafter we call Cuhead Mega).

Cuhead Mega use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead Mega adopt standard Arduino Mega laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino, MEGA, Romeo, etc.

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead Mega has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead Mega wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead Mega so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead Mega or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead Mega connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead Mega, the charging circuit on Cuhead Mega will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead Mega is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead Mega has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino V2.0

2012-11-14T08:33:31Z

Nancy: /* Application Ideas */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce Cuhead WiFi Shield V2.0（hereafter we call Cuhead V2.0).

Cuhead V2.0 use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead V2.0 adopt standard Arduino laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino Diecimila/Duemilanove/Uno etc.

[[File:Cuhead 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead V2.0 has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead V2.0 wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead V2.0 so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead V2.0 or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead V2.0 connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead V2.0, the charging circuit on Cuhead V2.0 will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead V2.0 is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead V2.0 has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Increase the Flash memory chip'''

The increase of the Flash memory chip is serial interface of the Flash memory chip, it can work in 2.5 V-2.7 V, can be used as program code data storage. Flash memory chip and Arduino are used together SPI interface, the speed can be up to 66 MHz. It contains 17301504 bytes, is organized for 4096 page, each page 512 or 528 bytes. In addition to main memory, the Flash memory chip also includes two SRAM data buffer, each buffer 512/528 bytes. When main memory is programming, buffer is allowed to receive the data, and to support data stream write. And the Flash memory chip allow simple in the system to programming, without having to input high programming voltage. It can through the # CS Enable, and through the three line interface (SI, SO, SCK) in data communication.

Because Cuhead V2.0 Flash memory chip and Arduino uses the same SPI interface, we through the Cuhead V2.0 module of the flash_sn jump line to select is public SS or CS. The flash_sn connect 1, 2 pin is SS, connect 2,3 pins for CS.

When Cuhead V2.0 need to use Wi-Fi choose SS, make Flash is invalid, so Wi-Fi can accurately to receive information, and deal with the IP protocol. If this time not banned Flash, data through the SPI send come over, Flash and Arduino will receive the data and have the conflict.

'''Wi-Fi Transceiver Module Features'''

This document is to introduce Cuhead WiFi Shield V2.0（hereafter we call Cuhead V2.0).

Cuhead V2.0 use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead V2.0 adopt standard Arduino laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino Diecimila/Duemilanove/Uno etc.

[[File:Cuhead 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

Cuhead V2.0 has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead V2.0 wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead V2.0 so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead V2.0 or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead V2.0 has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Increase the Flash memory chip'''

The increase of the Flash memory chip is serial interface of the Flash memory chip, it can work in 2.5 V-2.7 V, can be used as program code data storage. Flash memory chip and Arduino are used together SPI interface, the speed can be up to 66 MHz. It contains 17301504 bytes, is organized for 4096 page, each page 512 or 528 bytes. In addition to main memory, the Flash memory chip also includes two SRAM data buffer, each buffer 512/528 bytes. When main memory is programming, buffer is allowed to receive the data, and to support data stream write. And the Flash memory chip allow simple in the system to programming, without having to input high programming voltage. It can through the # CS Enable, and through the three line interface (SI, SO, SCK) in data communication.

Because Cuhead V2.0 Flash memory chip and Arduino uses the same SPI interface, we through the Cuhead V2.0 module of the flash_sn jump line to select is public SS or CS. The flash_sn connect 1, 2 pin is SS, connect 2,3 pins for CS.

When Cuhead V2.0 need to use Wi-Fi choose SS, make Flash is invalid, so Wi-Fi can accurately to receive information, and deal with the IP protocol. If this time not banned Flash, data through the SPI send come over, Flash and Arduino will receive the data and have the conflict.

[[File:Cuhead 14.jpg]]

If you want to use another example, such as how to use webserver.h,

'''#define APP_WEBSERVER'''

'''//#define APP_WISERVER'''

'''Q2. Red LED（D1）not on'''

A2：If the program has been downloaded to Arduino, yet red LED（D1）on Cuhead V1.0 is not on, which means Wi-Fi not connected,please check below part.

Check the IP address,default gate way and subnet mask in the code if it is right with the WiFi routor settings.

And check the SSID、PASSWORD and encryption method. Or you can reset Cuhead V2.0/Arduino module and reconnect them.

Check the jump line parts:

*INTX1, used to choose to interrupt mode, jump line 1, 2 pin is D8, jump line 2, 3 pin is D2. No influence on the use of Cuhead V2.0, not normally use.

*Flash_sn, jump line 1, 2 pin is SS, jump line 2, 3 pin is CS, when you using Wi-Fi choice SS, make Flash invalid.

*Wi-Fi connection indicator light, jump line 1, 2 pin. Cuhead V2.0 leave factory, need to jump line of the part we have adjusted, you can use directly.

'''Q3. Using UNO R3'''

A3:When Cuhead V2.0 connected to Arduino UNO R3, Cuhead V2.0 may be unable to connect to wifi.

You need to download the latest version of the Bootloader to Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

Open optiboot folder ( X: \ arduino-XXXX \ hardware \ arduino\ bootloaders \ optiboot )

[[File:Cuhead 15.jpg]]

Bootloader (.hex file) download to corresponding version of the Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

'''Q4.I have your Cuhead module,but when i connect it with my Arduino Mega 2560,it is not working.what can i do now?'''

A4:Please check the connections with the arduino board carefully,it is different with different arduino boards.

For example,Arduino Mega uses different pins for the SPI interface than the previous boards, so you may not able to use the headers to stack the shield onto the Mega.

And you may have to pull pins to match the correct SPI pins to get it working.

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino V2.0

2012-11-14T06:56:46Z

Nancy: /* Resources */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce Cuhead WiFi Shield V2.0（hereafter we call Cuhead V2.0).

Cuhead V2.0 use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead V2.0 adopt standard Arduino laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino Diecimila/Duemilanove/Uno etc.

[[File:Cuhead 1.jpg]]

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead V2.0 has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead V2.0 wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead V2.0 so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead V2.0 or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead V2.0 connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead V2.0, the charging circuit on Cuhead V2.0 will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead V2.0 is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead V2.0 has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Increase the Flash memory chip'''

The increase of the Flash memory chip is serial interface of the Flash memory chip, it can work in 2.5 V-2.7 V, can be used as program code data storage. Flash memory chip and Arduino are used together SPI interface, the speed can be up to 66 MHz. It contains 17301504 bytes, is organized for 4096 page, each page 512 or 528 bytes. In addition to main memory, the Flash memory chip also includes two SRAM data buffer, each buffer 512/528 bytes. When main memory is programming, buffer is allowed to receive the data, and to support data stream write. And the Flash memory chip allow simple in the system to programming, without having to input high programming voltage. It can through the # CS Enable, and through the three line interface (SI, SO, SCK) in data communication.

Because Cuhead V2.0 Flash memory chip and Arduino uses the same SPI interface, we through the Cuhead V2.0 module of the flash_sn jump line to select is public SS or CS. The flash_sn connect 1, 2 pin is SS, connect 2,3 pins for CS.

When Cuhead V2.0 need to use Wi-Fi choose SS, make Flash is invalid, so Wi-Fi can accurately to receive information, and deal with the IP protocol. If this time not banned Flash, data through the SPI send come over, Flash and Arduino will receive the data and have the conflict.

CuHead WiFi Shield for Arduino V2.0

2012-11-14T06:34:28Z

Nancy: /* Schematic */

== Introduction ==

This document is to introduce Cuhead WiFi Shield V2.0（hereafter we call Cuhead V2.0).

Cuhead V2.0 use low consumption MRF24WB0MA embedded Wi-Fi Transceiver Module，match 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b™ RF Standard.

Cuhead V2.0 adopt standard Arduino laminated design . It is designed to plug on Arduino Diecimila/Duemilanove/Uno etc.

== Features ==

'''Standard spec'''

Cuhead V2.0 has charging and discharging function, the charging circuit is used to tell voltage of the battery.

We can connect the positive and negtive of the battery to BAT, if the battery is full, then Cuhead V2.0 wont charge battery; if it is not, the external battery will be charged.

We bring comparator to check the operating current of Cuhead V2.0 so you know it is Arduino giving power to Cuhead V2.0 or the opposite way, and change the charging circuit to connect/disconnect based on that.

When Cuhead V2.0 connect Arduino, there are two working status：

*Connect Arduino with USB/Adaptor , Arduino gives power to Cuhead V2.0, the charging circuit on Cuhead V2.0 will disconnect；

*No external power for Arduino, then the charging circuit of Cuhead V2.0 is working, and the battery will power the boards. Normally we give power to Arduino directly, thus the charging circuit is inactive.

'''Add Potentiometer'''

The new added potentiometer is to adjust the voltage to any value needed (by adjust AMS1117 Vin to 5.6V~6.0V).

It is hard to do so by fixed resistance. The default voltage of Cuhead V2.0 has been set in the right voltage，normally you don't have to adjust it.

'''Increase the Flash memory chip'''

The increase of the Flash memory chip is serial interface of the Flash memory chip, it can work in 2.5 V-2.7 V, can be used as program code data storage. Flash memory chip and Arduino are used together SPI interface, the speed can be up to 66 MHz. It contains 17301504 bytes, is organized for 4096 page, each page 512 or 528 bytes. In addition to main memory, the Flash memory chip also includes two SRAM data buffer, each buffer 512/528 bytes. When main memory is programming, buffer is allowed to receive the data, and to support data stream write. And the Flash memory chip allow simple in the system to programming, without having to input high programming voltage. It can through the # CS Enable, and through the three line interface (SI, SO, SCK) in data communication.

Because Cuhead V2.0 Flash memory chip and Arduino uses the same SPI interface, we through the Cuhead V2.0 module of the flash_sn jump line to select is public SS or CS. The flash_sn connect 1, 2 pin is SS, connect 2,3 pins for CS.

When Cuhead V2.0 need to use Wi-Fi choose SS, make Flash is invalid, so Wi-Fi can accurately to receive information, and deal with the IP protocol. If this time not banned Flash, data through the SPI send come over, Flash and Arduino will receive the data and have the conflict.

== FAQ ==

'''Q1. Program can't be compiled'''

A1：Check these if you found that the example we provide cannot compile.

Whether you choose the right Board. You should choose the board you are using when compile.

Here enter ZG2100BasedWiFiShield[[File:Cuhead 12.jpg]] , and open apps-conf.h

[[File:Cuhead 13.jpg]]

To prevent repeated quotation of the same file, which will cause compile error like duplicate definition and nested quoted.

You have to change it here according to your needs. To different examples, the macro definition is different, the default is:

'''#define APP_WISERVER'''

[[File:Cuhead 14.jpg]]

If you want to use another example, such as how to use webserver.h,

'''#define APP_WEBSERVER'''

'''//#define APP_WISERVER'''

'''Q2. Red LED（D1）not on'''

A2：If the program has been downloaded to Arduino, yet red LED（D1）on Cuhead V1.0 is not on, which means Wi-Fi not connected,please check below part.

Check the IP address,default gate way and subnet mask in the code if it is right with the WiFi routor settings.

And check the SSID、PASSWORD and encryption method. Or you can reset Cuhead V2.0/Arduino module and reconnect them.

Check the jump line parts:

*INTX1, used to choose to interrupt mode, jump line 1, 2 pin is D8, jump line 2, 3 pin is D2. No influence on the use of Cuhead V2.0, not normally use.

*Flash_sn, jump line 1, 2 pin is SS, jump line 2, 3 pin is CS, when you using Wi-Fi choice SS, make Flash invalid.

*Wi-Fi connection indicator light, jump line 1, 2 pin. Cuhead V2.0 leave factory, need to jump line of the part we have adjusted, you can use directly.

'''Q3. Using UNO R3'''

A3:When Cuhead V2.0 connected to Arduino UNO R3, Cuhead V2.0 may be unable to connect to wifi.

You need to download the latest version of the Bootloader to Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

Open optiboot folder ( X: \ arduino-XXXX \ hardware \ arduino\ bootloaders \ optiboot )

[[File:Cuhead 15.jpg]]

Bootloader (.hex file) download to corresponding version of the Arduino microcontroller (ATmegaXXXX).

'''Q4.I have your Cuhead module,but when i connect it with my Arduino Mega 2560,it is not working.what can i do now?'''

A4:Please check the connections with the arduino board carefully,it is different with different arduino boards.

For example,Arduino Mega uses different pins for the SPI interface than the previous boards, so you may not able to use the headers to stack the shield onto the Mega.

And you may have to pull pins to match the correct SPI pins to get it working.
