#CONTROL LIGHTKEY THROUGH WIFI SERIAL#

As soon as we open it, it will attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network we entered in the code, and if it is successful, it will print out the boards IP address in the Serial Monitor. Upload the sketch to the board.ДЄfter the code has been successfully uploaded to the board, we need to open the Serial Monitor to initialize the program. The sketch can be found in the snippet below. print ( ) - print something to the client (e.g. connected - checks for connected clients. begin ( ) - tells the server to begin listening for incoming connections.

WiFiClient client - creates a client that can connect to to a specified internet IP address.

WiFiServer server ( 80 ) - creates a server that listens for incoming connections on the specified port.begin ( ssid, pass ) connects to Wi-Fi with credentials. char pass = '' - stores network password.We can now take a look at some of the core functions of this sketch:

If we are using an offline editor, simply go to Tools > Manage libraries., and search for WiFiNINA and install it. If we are using the Web Editor, there is no need to install anything. Now, we need to install the libraries needed. Here we need to look for the Arduino Mbed OS Nano Boards and install it. This can be done by navigating to Tools > Board > Board Manager. If we are using an offline editor, we need to install it manually. If we are using the Web Editor, we do not need to install anything.

We will now get to the programming part of this tutorial.ДЇirst, let's make sure we have the drivers installed. Here is an example of how a button is created:Д«y using this method, we can set up many more buttons that can control different aspects of our Arduino, and is a great building block for building a control interface for your board that can be controlled through a browser, over WiFi. These buttons can be modified to add something to the URL. Inside the HTML instructions that we print, or send to the browser, we can create buttons. Controlling an Arduino Through the Browser It works pretty much as the Internet does, but in our example, it will only happen over the local Wi-Fi network. The server responds with a set of HTML instructions, which can then be viewed in the browser. If we enter this address in the browser of a computer/browser on the same network, we make a request to this server. Simply explained, we will set up our board to connect to a Wi-Fi network, and start hosting a web server on a specific IP address. In this tutorial, we will turn our board into a web server, that will listen for incoming GET requests. There are multiple ways we can access our board over Wi-Fi. Plug in the Nano RP2040 Connect to your computer.

Connect to the server through a browser.

Note: if you need help setting up your environment to use your Arduino Nano RP2040 board, please refer to this installation guide. In this tutorial we will take a look at how we turn our board into a web server, and control the built-in RGB through a browser. The Nano RP2040 Connect features a Wi-Fi module and an RGB LED among many other things.
