how do i change the idle state of the clock?
@ MikeCormier
Well, itās set in SPI configuration (CC3000Driver.cs):
//make our spi (mode 1)
spi = new SPI(new SPI.Configuration(
(Cpu.Pin)(-1), // SS-pin (we will manually do it)
false, // SS-pin active state (low)
1, // The setup time for the SS port YYY 50 uSec
1, // The hold time for the SS port
CPOL --> false, // The idle state of the clock (low)
CPHA --> false, // The sampling clock edge (trailing)
100, // The SPI clock rate in KHz
spiMod)); // The used SPI bus (refers to a MOSI MISO and SCLK pinset)
The correct CPOL, CPHA signals for mode 1 should be output to your CC3000 module if your wiring is correct. Valkyrie-MTās CodePlex code is working just fine to connect. I am currently using an Embedded Adventures module (WRL-CC3000V2) with a Netduino Plus 2 and the module has been connected for about 1 week (e.g. ping ok).
var ap = new AccessPoint() { Ssid = "tplink", Key = "", Security = WifiSecurityType.Open };
//var ap = new AccessPoint() { Ssid = "ret13x", Key = "XXXXXXXX", Security = WifiSecurityType.WPA2 };
The tplink is an access point connected to the main router and ret13x is the main network SSID. All of the modules I have (TI CC3000 Boost, a Parallax seller CC3000 and the wRL-CC3000V2) work as advertised. In any case, you need to determine why the clock idle state is wrong.
That is the exact setting i have for spi.
iām getting no difference in the clock state(always high) if it is true or false with several main boards boards that i have.
The only thing that comes to mind is,
(1) something wrong in firmware and/or MF for SPI mode 1 (seems unlikely)
(2) your logic analyzer is connected to the wrong pins
With my Saleae Logic, selecting Analyzers --> SPI, a bad clock idle will
show the attached.
How can i order cc3000 wifi module? there are no option to add this module to cart in website( written preview only). kindly suggest me about how to buy this
odule. I want try this module. Thanks in advance.
I have a couple of these,
You can also buy one from Adafruit,
Or, directly from TI; look for CC3000 Boost Module.
Finally got the Adafruit boards to communicate. using
wifi = new CC3000Driver((Cpu.Pin)7, (Cpu.Pin)8, (Cpu.Pin)32, SPI.SPI_module.SPI1);
on a cerb40 with 4.2 firmware
iām going to try the ghi one next and do the firmware update.
what are the pin outs for the ghi cc3000 module? i need to go through a breakout board so i am doing this manually.

It is standard S socket I thought which confirms to the gadgeteer socket specification:
http://gadgeteer.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Socket%20Type%20S
more specifically i assume int is connected to pin 3
and cs is pin 6
what about vben is it pin 4 or 5?
also is it 3.3 v or 5 v powered?
Yes it is 3.3V powered module (according to the description).
I would assume āintā is on an interrupt guaranteed pin 3 and cs is pin 6.
Not sure about vben, though.
If you can get to the vbenās via on the bottom of the module you can check what pin it is with a multi-meter.
@ Valkyrie-MT,
Downloaded your code update on codplex and the patcher worked great on my 2 Adafruit boards.updates from .19 to 0.6.1.24. Nice work!!
I still cant get GHIs board to communicate have you been able to?
how have you got it connected?
Actually, I wasnāt going to mention that check-in to anyone because I think I broke some stuffā¦ But, the firmware flasher does work 
I actually lost about 11 days of work in a disk crash. I am almost back to where I was before. But, my new policy will be to check-in more frequently, even if the code does not fully workā¦
The GHI device will be awesome. But I am really not a hardware guy; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnāt and I donāt know why. It is just connected to Socket 1 on my CerbuinoBee. I have added a resistor to it (on one of the SPI lines, canāt remember which) and it has been working for 3 days now perfectly. The GHI device is so closeā¦ If I had a scope, Iām sure I could figure out whatās going onā¦
Pics of the CerbuinoBee with the cc3000
sorry about letting that slip.
by the way thanks for the pics iāll try the resister on the ghi device.
is it in series on the clock? how many ohms?
Yeah, I think itās an 80 or 100 ohm resistor on the SPI clock. Iāll take a look tonight to double check.
Woohoo, first time patching and my original boost went from 19 to 24. And that succeeded in connecting the boost to the CerbuinoBee on 4.2 with the Adhoc profile. And not using any resistors at all.

And the missing pic running some examples on the firmware 24 bases:
NetworkDiscovery - Picked up 4 out of 6 thru my pcās wifi but it did not pick up the wifi ap just a few inches away where my pc is connected. Different SSIDs. Works grand though, let it run in a loop several times with a 5 second delay and it was stable and consistent, great job.
Found 4 WiFi Networks:
SSID - Signal Strength - Security
renorbert 48 Secured
AK16-US 83 Secured
ZeHage3 32 Secured
WLAN-EC5BD6 30 Secured
DNS Test - Ran just through with expected debug output but how to see the CC3000 was advertised correctly ?
InternetTime - Didnāt work in my setup.
WebServer - Running but only once, after hitting F5=Refresh in the browser, in ran forever refreshing.
PatchProgrammer worked as stated before.
So far it is quite stable I must admit ā¦ at least running the several examples and switching the projects. Iām using VS2012 and deploying to MF 4.2.
On the way to 4.3 ā¦ and long running tests ā¦

Thanks for the report!
Are you powering the CC3000 via the TI board?
If so, have you tried to connect it only to the Cerbuino?
