Looking for a way to network enable your Arduino projects without wires? Look no further, you need the Arduino WiFi Shield available in the Maker Shed! This shield fits atop your Arduino and will connect to an 802.11b/g network with relative ease. The shield comes completely assembled and uses pass through headers allowing other shields to be stacked on top. Because the Arduino has limited storage space there’s also a micro SD slot which can be used for file serving. Possible uses of the WiFi Shield include home automation, remote sensing, tele-robotics, or anything else that might require wireless networking.
