Adafruit libary and CC3000 shield

Question

I have a Arduino Uno and a CC3000 shield. When I run the example code for Webclient from Adafruits libary it works perfect.

When I switch out address for reading a corresponding text file from my own server the code completes sporadically. The output in the serial window stops at differens places every time.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

The Adafruit points to this URL: http://www.adafruit.com/testwifi/index.html While mine points to this URL: http://a.sjsd.li/test/test.html

Answer 1

I have arrived at a solution that works for me. Instead of using Adafruit library I have adopted Sparkfuns library.

Some adjustments in the setup for the pins:

#define CC3000_INT      3   // Needs to be an interrupt pin (D2/D3)
#define CC3000_EN       5   // Can be any digital pin
#define CC3000_CS       10  // Preferred is pin 10 on Uno
#define SD_CS           4   // Chip select for SD card

Then some adjustemnt in the block for the HTTP request:

client.print("GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\n");
client.print("Host: ");
client.print(server);
client.print("\r\n\r\n");
client.println();
Serial.println();

This is not a solution for the Adafruit libary. But it helped me to continue my project.

Perhaps the CC3000 isn't waiting long enough for the whole response to come in. Try increasing the variable IDLE_TIMEOUT in the Web_Client sketch, near the top. Change its value to 10000 and see if you get the whole response this time.
