Adafruit ATWINC1500 WiFi Module with uFL Products

Description

The Adafruit 3060 ATWINC1500 WiFi Breakout Board has a uFL connector for an external antenna and 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 microcontroller access to your WiFi network with TLSTransport Layer Security/SSLSecure Sockets Layer encryption support. 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 SSL library. This breakout board has a Microchip ATWINC1500-MR210UB processor for 2.4GHz (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) WiFi with a UARTUniversal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter/SPISerial Peripheral Interface interface, level shifting on all the input pins so you can use it with 3V or 5V logic, a 3.3V voltage regulator that can handle 300mA spikes and lets you power from 3.3V to 5.5V DC, and three on-board LEDLight Emitting Diodes that light up when connected to an SSIDService Set Identifier (SSID) is a unique sequence of characters that uniquely names a Wi-Fi network.

Currently the Atmel supplied library works great with Arduino M0 and M4 but does not work on Uno (ATmega328P) and may not work on other Arduinos.
