WiFi.macAddress()
Description
Gets the MAC Address of your WiFi shield
Syntax
WiFi.macAddress(mac);
Parameters
mac: a 6 byte array to hold the MAC address
Returns
byte array : 6 bytes representing the MAC address of your shield
Example
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi101.h>
char ssid[] = "yourNetwork"; // the name of your network
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; // the Wifi radio's status
byte mac[6]; // the MAC address of your Wifi shield
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
status = WiFi.begin(ssid);
if ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.println("Couldn't get a wifi connection");
while(true);
}
// if you are connected, print your MAC address:
else {
WiFi.macAddress(mac);
Serial.print("MAC: ");
Serial.print(mac[5],HEX);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(mac[4],HEX);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(mac[3],HEX);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(mac[2],HEX);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(mac[1],HEX);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.println(mac[0],HEX);
}
