Propeller Chip and Wifi
I am no stranger to software development but am a newbie to microcontrollers and have been looking to do some playing around with the propeller chip. I want to write a simple web client using a propeller board hooked up to an lcd screen. Nothing fancy, just grab files and display their raw text content to the screen (for now). I want to do this wirelessly, but am concerned about wifi modules for the propeller. There was a lot of discussion a few years ago about wifi modules that were ended then subsequent use of third party modules. Then for two years there has been nothing it seems (from a simple forum search). What projects has anyone done anything with the propeller and wifi? Which wifi modules did you use? I just want to ensure that my project is doable for someone at my level before I go buying propeller devkits and wifi modules.

This weekend I will work on adding Bind and Listed so it can be a server and not just a client.
As TI have not released the HCI structure, the software is a work in progress as I have to hack raw memory dumps to get an idea.

There also will be tools to convert from Spin to Spin2, but they will be likely be third party and probably won't arrive before Christmas:)
I haven't ordered tonyp12's cc3000 yet, but I'm planning to. In the mean time, I would be very interested in your experiences.

They are really easy to use.

You can drop me a PM if your having trouble.
Walt- Did you mean to attach some code on this post and forgot?

I don't use/or write in Spin...But there is serial Spin code in the OBEX on how to do this!!!

You can use the PST terminal for that matter.

You're way over thinking this!
