Hi
I ran into problems trying to use your waveshield together with a wifly from sparkfun.com (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9954). I need an audio-arduino with a wificonnection, so my question:
Do you know whether your Adafruit CC3000 WiFi Shield with Onboard Ceramic Antenna works together with a waveshield.
Thank you for letting me know.
Dani
Do waveshield and CC3000 wifi shield work on the same arduin

Re: Do waveshield and CC3000 wifi shield work on the same ar
Both shields use some of the same pins by default, but we've designed them so you can reconnect the signals if necessary.
The CC3000 shield has a row of holes over by digital pins 8-13 with all the signal names. If necessary, you can cut the traces to the default Arduino pins and move the signals to other pins that are free.

Re: Do waveshield and CC3000 wifi shield work on the same ar
Has anyone actually tried running the two boards at the same time on the same arduino?
I'm asking because theoretically a waveshield (run with SPI-pins 11-13 and SS on pin 9) should work together with a wiflyshield (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9954) that is run from SPI-standard-pins (10-13). They both work flawlessly as long as only one of the boards is connected to the arduino. However, as soon as the two shields are physically connected over pin 13, the boards stop working.
Would this be any different with your CC3000?

You may be encountering a RAM issue with your two boards. Have a look at our tutorial on Arduino Memories:

I don't think that it is a RAM problem because on the program side I have the arduino do either the testscript for waveshield or the testscript for the wiflyshield. The µP stops working when adding a second SPI-device to the common pin 13.
But anyway, I'll check the thing with an arduino mega. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, no difference with an Arduino Mega - I don't think it's a RAM problem (see above).

What chip select lines are you using? The waveshield needs two, I don't know anything about the wifly.

Re: Do waveshield and CC3000 wifi shield work on the same ar
the waveshield has/need TWO CS lines???
huh?
I thought it only used 1? usually defaults to pin 10 or pin 4 in most sketches? (along with the SPI lines, 11, 12, 13)?

The WaveShield has just one CS for the SD card. The standard configuration is pin 10.

ahh.. (duh) I mis-read that post.
yes 2 'separate' CS lines
1 - DAC
1- SD

Hi
I now got one of your CC3000 to play with - I still would like to use an arduino Mega with a waveshield and a CC3000-breakout-board at the same time.
I read under http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc30 ... onnections that
Thanks, Dani

But I cannot find any information about that 74AHC125 anywhere in the tutorial. Would you point me out, where I could find the information to consider?On the breakout, be aware that the MISO (data out from module) pin does not go 'high impedance' when CS is driven low. Check the shield for how we use a 74AHC125 to manually tri-state this pin when it's shared with an SD card.
Thanks, Dani

The shield schematics are on the Downloads page. You can see the 74AHC125 on the bottom center of the schematic: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc30 ... /downloads

Thanks, I see on the shields schema, that I have to connect the CC3000's SPI_CS (SPI_CS_3V) and CC3000's SPI_DOUT to the 74AHC125 in order to tristate the output. However - how can I get to these pins (SPI_CS_3V and SPI_DOUT) on the breakout board?
Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Re: Do waveshield and CC3000 wifi shield work on the same ar
It is labeled "CS"how can I get to SPI_CS_3V on the breakout board?

Cool, an how about the SPI_DOUT pin? Is it the one labeled MISO?
--> Indeed, when using MISO as input A1 to 74AHC125, the setup works.
