Description:

This Application uses the WiFi 7 click board (containing Microchip's ATWINC1510-MR210PB IEEE 802.11 b/g/n module) to enable cloud connectivity. The application's functioning requires the ATWINC1510 module to have firmware compatible with the WiFi software stack running on the ATSAME51 microcontroller(on SAM E51 Curiosity Nano Development Kit). To enable this compatibility, the ATWINC1510 module is updated with the firmware compatible with WiFi software running in the latest released demo.
