Description

The Adafruit 4264 Airlift FeatherWing ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor Breakout Board has an integrated TCP/IPTCP/IP is a suite of internet communication protocols. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is responsible for establishing reliable, ordered data delivery, and handling congestion control, while IP (Internet Protocol) focuses on routing packets of data to their destination. protocol stack that can give your Feather or other microcontroller access to your WiFi network with the latest TLSTransport Layer Security/SSLSecure Sockets Layer encryption (it has root certificates pre-burned in). Having WiFi managed by a separate processor from your microcontroller means your code is simpler, you don't have to cache socket data, or compile in and debug an SSLSecure Sockets Layer library.

This breakout board originally included a ESP-WROOM-32 module (Datasheet), but as of April 24, 2023, Adafruit updated the PCBPrinted Circuit Board with the smaller ESP32-Mini-1 module (Datasheet). Both of these board versions have 2.4GHz WiFi (802.11IEEE 802.11 is a set of protocol standards that define communication for a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). In order for WiFi to work between different devices, they all need to agree on how they are going to communicate. The current version of the standard is IEEE 802.11-2007, with many amendments such as 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n.b/g/n) and Bluetooth (v4.2 BRBasic Rate/EDREnhanced Data Rate and BLEBluetooth Low Energy) with an SPISerial Peripheral Interface interface using a tri-state chip for MOSIMaster Out Slave In (MOSI) is the SPI data output line from the master device so you can share the SPISerial Peripheral Interface bus with other devices, and an RGBRed Green Blue LEDLight Emitting Diode that you can control with programming. The updated PCBPrinted Circuit Board comes with the Pinguin to make a legible silkscreen and a STEMMA QTSTEMMA QT ('cutie') connectors are Adafruit's name for 4-pin JST SH connectors with 1.0mm pitch. These connectors were implemented on Adafruit boards to make it easy to plug-n-play various sensors and devices without soldering and wiring. The STEMMA QT (JST SH) are a smaller connector than the STEMMA (JST PH) that do not fit on smaller boards. STEMMA QT is cross-compatible with SparkFun Qwiic connectors. connector. Both versions of the board are shown in the figure below.

The ESP32 module in the Airlift can be programmed with Arduino code, MicroPython, or Adafruit's CircuitPython. It comes pre-programmed with the ESP32 SPISerial Peripheral Interface WiFi co-processor firmware (available on GitHub) that you can use in CircuitPython to use this into a WiFi co-processsor over SPISerial Peripheral Interface with two control pins (an RST input Reset pin and BUSY output pin that lets your microcontroller know when its ready for more commands to be sent). The Arduino library from Adafruit can also be found on GitHub.

Security CCMPCounter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP)/TKIPTemporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is a security protocol used in the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking standard. It was designed as an interim solution to replace WEP without requiring the replacement of legacy hardware. TKIP employs a per-packet key system that was more secure than the fixed key system used by WEP. However, TKIP itself is no longer considered secure and was deprecated in the 2012 revision of the 802.11 standard. It was superseded by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)./WAPIWLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) is a Chinese National Standard for Wireless LANs (GB 15629.11-2003)./WEPWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an encryption security protocol for 802.11 wireless networks to protect the information you send and receive over a wireless network.
