Thanks Z,
The use of a wireless router is interesting, but a little bulky. I’m hoping to come up to speed with what I think can be done with the Lantronix. But I do have a spare WLAN router…
Ah yes, the “shield” is an add-on “expansion” card to the Arduino. So it’s just like an ethernet card for a PC. I suppose it could be added to a BBII as well? I think the Lantronix can do that as well (guess I’ll find out).

Is sounding a lot like what I suspect the Lantronix can do. In the Blackfin Camera, the Blackfin talks to the Lantronix, but doesn’t need to use a LAN connection, just one of the high speed serial ports of the WLAN. Does that mean the Blackfin processor is implementing the TCP/IP stack for conversing with the WLAN? (I’m starting to confuse myself, so I’d better stop).
But as you mentioned, you’re not up on the Lantronix or Blackfin; no worries!
I know the Lantronix can support a LAN connection (with the appropriate magnetics), so it could talk to an internet card, and work like your card.
“The arduino Ethernet shield handles the network traffic…”
Yeah, that answers my question!
I copied your HTML code to a file, then opened it up with my PC browser. It looks like you’ve shown with one of your pix. Of course, I don’t have a 192, 168, 1, 102 connection (but I think I know what the Lantronix one I set up is), so I didn’t get anything, but I think I’m catching on slowly…
A few more hints and experiments should help.
I have a little HTML knowledge, looking for more! Yeah, a LOT of stuff out there!
Thanks for the tutorial (I’m looking for more on the web)!
