CC3000 and initializing

Post by hotnanas »

[skill level] BEGINNER
[problem] CC3000 won't initialize
[controller] Arduino Uno R3
[goal] Adafruit soil sensor tutorial data to Carriots
[first pic] PIC

Purchased board on Amazon.

I have since reheated the pins and could see the solder flow down more into the pin holes. i have checked the wiring over and over. I even ditched the breadboard thinking that could be the problem. I still get the same output from the serial port.

Please help me.
Hello, CC3000!

That output means you have the DEBUG macro set to produce diagnostic output.

That macro messes up the CC3000's interrupt timing, and you generally can't make a connection when it's enabled. Shut the debugging output off and see if that helps.

BTW - we don't sell through Amazon. Could you post a link to the page where you got the CC3000 please?

Build test with the debug "1" returned back to "0" and we have connection!

Well, I also messed around with my router, which screwed up my laptop's connection. Long story short, Ethernet cable, brick, no workie. But I figured out if I set my router to WPA2, I wouldn't have to learn another language to translate my previous WEP pw.

How would one go about converting a 10 digit WEP password into the proper code?

For password "aaaaaaaaaa"?

I tried several lines of posted code without success.

So tonight, I just installed my new router and will give this thing a go!

Thanks for getting me this far. Just curious, why would it not work the first time with the debug utility set to 0?

Success!

I now have my arduino connecting to the carriots site. I also have a dht 11 sensor reading off humidity and temperature.

Now to figure out how to convert the soil sensor sketch to read the sensor.

I think I might stick around with this micro controller stuff! It's pretty neat!

Now to figure out how to connect my old laptop to a new router.
