Sorry for starting yet another topic, I'm just getting excited!
Has anyone got the Roving Network RN-XV Wifi module up and running on the OKG?

We will be concentrating on the XV in future. Here's a sample sketch for pachube.
openmicros.org/index.php/articles/92-ciseco-product-documentation/openkontrol-gateway/166-openkontrol-gateway-example-code-llap-to-pachube-via-xv
The XV and wiznet commands are very similar so porting back and forth should be a gazzilion times easier than the ENC stuff.
A word from the war hardened, WEP/WPA etc is best left off till you get things running. Lots of people have been drivien crazy thinking thier sketches dont work when they actually do and it's just that the XV hasn't sucessfully authenticated. Weirdest so far was it didn't like * in a password. Took the guy a very long time to discover.
The OKG as wifi bridge/gateway we expect to be the most common configuration.

I have had it running for a week now and it is very stable.
What do you need to know?
To get you started, use the example sketch as provided in the OKG articles, make sure your jumpers are set as per the assembly instructions/photos. Note that the software serial settings should be SoftwareSerial mySerial(5, 6); and not 5,4 or whatever the example shows.
Further note, that in the example, the RN-XV is to be fitted in the LEFT HAND socket and the XRF on the RIGHT. The meai reason for this is that if you have a spare XRF which you can connect to a PC you can watch the progres with TeraTerm (as recommended by Roving networks) or with Hyperterminal or similar (XCM probably a good bet). The debug output will be visible in the terminal window.
If you need to know any more, just ask. I'll be online most of today.

Here is an updated version of the RN wifly library
github.com/dpslwk/WiFly
I did a few bits to make it more compatible with Arduino 1.0
I saw some missing functionality in the library, things like easy support for static IP, but i haven't had the time to look into fixing this yet.

Ah awesome, good to know that I won't be breaking trail along.
I have ordered a RN-XV module.
Cheers,

Ah, thanks. The example sketch was modified from our Xino example, and I must have missed the pin change. I've updated the example and clarified which socket the XV and XRF go in to.
