It mentions both the Arduino WiFi Shield and the cheaper ESP8266 chip. However, if you click through the link, it says the WiFi shield is retired. Why is that? Am I better off with an ethernet shield? | |

| Aug 3, 2017 at 16:56 | comment | added | Tim | If the built in WiFi chip does not work because the Arduino Uno WiFi is new and still in development, can you recommend a good WiFi shield that has been around a while, is supported by the community, and works with the Uno and its variants? | |
| Aug 3, 2017 at 16:43 | comment | added | Tim | That GitHub link is just the repo to the "Arduino Uno WiFi Dev Ed Library", which I already installed through the library manager window in the mac desktop IDE. The ReadMacAddress example program in that library prints "Please, push the ESP B/L button on the board and plug the USB cable before run the sketch," but after doing both things, it doesn't work. Interestingly, I see "Arduino-Uno-WiFi-823889" in the list of WiFi networks on my computer. Is that a sign that it does work and I am just doing something wrong? I bought two Arduinos, and neither can connect. | |
