Send and Receive UDP String
This sketch waits for a UDP packet on a local port. When a valid packet is received, an acknowledge packet is sent back to the client on a specified outgoing port.
This sketch waits for a UDP packet on a local port. When a valid packet is received, an acknowledge packet is sent back to the client on a specified outgoing port.
Hardware Required
- Arduino WiFi Shield 
- Shield-compatible Arduino board 
Circuit
The WiFi shield uses pins 10, 11, 12, and 13 for the SPI connection to the HDG104 module. Digital pin 4 is used to control the chip select pin on the SD card.
You should have access to a 802.11b/g wireless network that connects to the internet for this example. You will need to change the network settings in the sketch to correspond to your particular networks SSID.
image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page
In the above image, the Arduino board would be stacked below the WiFi shield.
