WiFi Web Server - a simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins.
using a WiFi shield. This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For
WEP or WPA, change the Wifi.begin() call accordingly.
Circuit:
* WiFi shield attached
* Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional)

Challenge:
Instead of the iPad, use your iPhone or Kindle tablet to control the homodruino robot.
