WiFi 4 click carries SPWF01SA, a complete standalone WiFi module with a single-chip 802.11 b/g/n transceiver, a 32-bit STM32 MCU, along with a built-in 2.4 GHz ISM band antenna.

The click is designed to run on a 3.3V power supply. It communicates with the target MCU over an UART interface (with additional functionality provided by Reset and Ready To Send pins, in place of default mikroBUS™ RST and CS pins).

SPWF01SA module

The SPWF01SA module has 1.5 MB of internal flash and 64 KB of RAM, and can achieve up to +18 dBm of output power.

In standby mode the module uses only 34 uA, while in sleep mode the typical power consumption is 15 mA.

Additional GPIO pins

The 14 additional GPIO pins that line the edges of the board have alternate functions like SPI, ADC, I2C, DAC (although access to those functions depends on the firmware version loaded in the module).

Programming

This code snippet is a demonstration on how to connect to wireless network router and start a simple web server.

It is necessary that your WIFi router has the DHCP turned on.

01 	   void main() 
02 {
03     // initialize uart, timer, WiFi, TFT
04     initMCU();
05   
06     // connect to the network
07     netReady = 0;
08     TFT_Write_Text( "Connecting to network...", 80 , 120 );
09   
10     // Connect to network
11     if(( wifiTest = Net_Wireless_SPWF01S_ConnectToAP( "SSID", "password", 0 )) == _NET_WIRELESS_SPWF01S_OK ) 
12     {
13         // wait for WiFi to be up
14         while( netReady == 0 )
15             ;
16         
17         TFT_Write_Text( "Connected!", 80 , 140 );
18     
19         // Create webpage
20         Net_Wireless_SPWF01S_MakeFile( "index.html", html );
21         Net_Wireless_SPWF01S_MakeFile( "layout.css", layout );
22         Net_Wireless_SPWF01S_MakeFile( "logic.js", js );
23     
24         // Get IP address
25         Net_Wireless_SPWF01S_GetCurrentIP( ipAddr );
26     
27         // Convert IP address to string
28         ConvertIPtoString();
29     
30         // Display IP address
31         TFT_Write_Text( "The IP address is :", 80 , 170 );
32         TFT_Write_Text( IPAdrStr, 195 , 170 );
33     }
