To begin, excuse my dumbness. I am very new at this stuff :p
I am working on a project involving driving an RC car using an iPhone over 802.11. I purchased the Arduino Mega 2560, WiFly shield, and Ardumoto. For now, I am simply looking to get some kind of test signal to the Arduino using my laptop, following this tutorial (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/158).
1) Since I am using the Mega as opposed to the Duemilanove, is the first section of bold code needed (starting with SPI_Uart_WriteByte(LCR,0x80); // 0x80 to program baudrate)?
2) The second step involves imputing "$$$" into TeraTerm. However, I was unable to find anywhere to enter text here. What am I doing wrong?
3) Is there any simple open source code out there to test a connection to the WiFly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am very new at this, and seem to have hit a wall very early on.
Thanks
