This is just a simple write-up on how to get started with your CC3000 shield.  The shield I used for this test is from DIYmall.

Prerequisites

- Arduino UNO board

- CC3000 Wifi Shield installed on UNO board

- Wi-Fi access

Install Library

1) In Arduino IDE, go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries...

2) Search for "CC3000"

3) Click on "Adafruit CC3000 Library" and choose Install

Run "buildtest" sample

1) In Arduino IDE, go to File > Examples > Adafruit CC3300 Library > buildtest

2) Find "#define WLAN_SSID" and change to your network SSID

3) Find "#define WLAN_PASS" and change to your network password

4) Find "#define WLAN_SECURITY" and change if needed

5) In Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Serial Monitor, set speed to 115200 baud

6) Upload/Run Sketch

The sketch should run fine.  If everything works, start to play around with the other included examples.
