FAQ

Hello! My name is Fajri. I have few probrems with your product "WiDo".
The WiDo can't detected by my computer. It only display arduino bootloader (COM5) for a while in device manager when I connect it on computer then it will be gone.
I've tried to change my laptop, change the USB cable, and update the driver but nothing happened.
Can you help me to fix this problem?
Thank you.

Am having issues with my board today as well, RX light is solid, pin 13 LED is rapidly blinking and when connected to the PC via USB unable to detect COM port on Arduino IDE.
Have already disconnected everything from the board on suspecting that the board having issue.
At this point I would not recommend the WiDo, especially if you are looking for your first WiFi enabled board. The example sketches are difficult to follow and there is little in the way of help on the forums or the wider internet. I purchased a WiDo because of it's low price but I would recommend spending a little more and getting a more popular board, at least until more support is available.

I couldn't agree more with. I also bought it as it was very cheap and now having problem with it as it has less support. But I think soon people will move towards WiDo as it is very cheap. So DFrobot should concentrate on supporting more with wifi codes and guides.
