Hi,

I really like the ESP8266 WIFI shield for Arduino, BUT...the library only seems to support DHCP for assigning IP.

Can I assign a FIXED IP when I use the shield ?

Best Regards,
BRIAN (AI6MK)

Yes you can. I have done a lot of work on the original library from Sparkfun to fix some bugs + adding new features. It is posted that on https://github.com/paulvha/PVH_ESP8266_ ... no_Library. It will run the existing examples, but there are a number of new examples (starting with pvh_). One of them is pvh_ESP8266_Shield_client and will show you how to assign a static IP address.

regards,
Paul
