Externs for Ethernet Shield / WIFI

[datee]

It would be great to have externs for Ethernet Shield and Wifi! :) Have looked into setting it up myself, but not successful yet :)

The problem there is i dont have either of those for my arduino, i could probably walk you through creating the externs though, if memory serves, they are pretty straight forward. Do you have links to the C libs?

[datee]

Well, i guess it would be these:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Ethernet
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFi

I have an Arduino with a Shield attached im using for testing :)

OK, the sources are in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries" and then lib name, what i can do, a little later, is write the externs blindly, by which i mean that the a test app will compile, and no run (since i dont have these components), then you can use this externs as a base and add / test them... sound good? :)

Cheers,
Ian

That would be absolutely fabulous! 👍 :)

In order to use the libs they need to include SPI.h / SPI.cpp and w5100.h / w5100.cpp .. how can they be included automaticly in the build process?

Hey... you can have multiple @:includes in externs, but its not going to help (that much), ive been working on some changes to the generator to make this work nicer, but i havent had alot of time recently to do much. Ive penciled in some time this weekend though, so hopefully ill make some progress then

Cheers,
Ian
