HOWTO Change pin definitions for WiFiNINA

Please change the pin-to-pin connection in WiFiNINA_Pinout_Generic.h to match actual connection. The section for NINA_B302_ublox and NINA_B112_ublox has been tested and working OK.

For example

#elif  ( defined(NINA_B302_ublox) )

  #warning You have to modify pin usage according to actual connection for NRF528XX
  // To define pin out for WiFiNINA here
  // The following is for NINA_B302_ublox as nRF52 and W102 WiFiNINA module

How to update SSL certificates

Please check the Arduino Tutorial if more info is required.

With the same procedure, you may load root certificates on the WiFi module to access securely specific websites. Your board must be running the FirmwareUpdater sketch to work .The root certificates are issued by a limited number of certification authorities, but it is difficult to know which site is using which authority. To ease your life, we allow you to specify directly the URL to which you need to connect securely, leaving to us the task to download the root certificate.

The list you are building is not saved from one session to the next one. It might happen that a few websites share the same root certificate. You don't have to worry about this as we take care of it. The space available on your WiFi module to store the certificates is limited to around 10 certificates that, being issued by a limited number of authorities, should be more than enough for the average projects.

This is the screen to demonstrate the SSL certificates have been loaded successfully onto a nRF52-based NINA_B302_ublox board running with ublox WiFiNINA W102 .

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial. Debug Level from 0 to 4. To disable, change the WEBSOCKETS_LOGLEVEL to 0

// Use this to output debug msgs to Serial
#define DEBUG_WIFININA_PORT       Serial
// Use this to disable all output debug msgs
// Debug Level from 0 to 4
#define _WIFININA_LOGLEVEL_       0

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the board's core, WiFiNINA module/shield firmware 1.4.8+ or this library version.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the WiFiNINA module/shield core to the newer or older version because some function compatibility.
