Adafruit HUZZAH CC3000 WiFi Breakout with Onboard Antenna [v1.1]

The Adafruit HUZZAH CC3000 WiFi Breakout adds 802.11b/g WiFi connectivity to your Arduino projects via SPI. Built around the TI CC3000 module with a built-in TCP/IP stack, it supports open, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security with TKIP and AES encryption. The on-board antenna delivers range comparable to a smartphone, and the breakout includes a 3.3V regulator and level shifting for 3V or 5V logic compatibility.

Version 1.1 adds a tri-state buffer on the MISO pin, allowing the CC3000 to share an SPI bus with other devices. The module supports TCP and UDP in both client and server mode with up to 4 concurrent sockets, using a BSD-style socket interface.
