My itsy bitsy webserver: Wishield 2.0

Yesterday I got a Wishield 2.0, it's a tiny wifi shield that goes on my arduino. It's my first shield. Tonight I set it up, grabbed the code to use it from github. I'm able to get it to function as a webserver, it even properly handles WPA2-PSK security.

Here's the test page it serves:


I can imagine all sorts of uses for this thing, it can be either a client or a server. I'd like to use it to add remote control capability to a robot someday.... assuming i can find a Motor shield that doesn't conflict with the pins used by the Wishield . As you can see here, this guy uses plenty of pins. It also has some flash memory on it that you can use to store web page bits, so lots of possibilities...
