User Manual

The WICED Feather is based on Broadcom's WICED (Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices) platform,

and is paired up with a powerful STM32F205 ARM Cortex M3 processor running at 120MHz, with support for TLS 1.2 to

access sites and web services safely and securely.

We spent a lot of time adding support for this processor and WiFi chipset to the Arduino IDE you know and love.

Programming doesn't rely on any online or third party tools to build, flash or run your code. You write your code in the

Arduino IDE using many of the same standard libraries you've always used (Wire, SPI, etc.), compile locally, and the

device is flashed directly from the IDE over USB. Note that this chipset is not identical to the Arduino standard-

supported Atmega series and many libraries that are written for AVR will not compile or work with WICED!

Since the WICED Feather is based on the standard Adafruit Feather (https://adafru.it/mf2) layout, you also have instant

access to a variety of Feather Wings, as well as all the usual standard breakouts available from Adafruit or other

vendors.

After more than a year of full time effort in the making, we think it's the best and most flexible WiFi development board

out there, and the easiest way to get your TCP/IP-based project off the ground without sacrificing flexibility or security.

We even cooked in some built-in libraries in the WiFi core, wuch as TCP client and Server, HTTP client and server, and

MQTT client (with easy Adafruit IO interfacing).
