WICED Feather API

In order to simplify the most common activities with the WICED Feather, several helper classes have been added to the

board support package.

These helper classes are described below, and detailed explanations of each class can be found later in this guide.

AdafruitFeather

This is the main class you will use to configure the WICED Feather. It contains functions to connect or disconnect to an

AP, ping another device, set certificate details when using TLS and HTTPS, as well as a few more specialized

commands like some MQTT commands to use the internal MQTT stack in the WICED Feather WiFi stack.

For detailed information see: AdafruitFeather (https://adafru.it/mfa) and AdafruitFeather: Profiles (https://adafru.it/mfb)

AdafruitTCP

The AdafruitTCP class provides helper functions to open, close and work with TCP based socket connections. There

are convenient callback functions for the socket disconnect events, as well as when data is received, and you can

start an open or SSL based connection.

For detailed information see: AdafruitTCP (https://adafru.it/mfc) and AdafruitTCPServer (https://adafru.it/mfd)

AdafruitUDP

The AdafruitUDP class provides helper functions to open, close and work with UDP based socket connections. There is

a callback function to handle data receive events.

For detailed information see: AdafruitUDP (https://adafru.it/mfe)

AdafruitHTTP

This class provides a convenient wrapper for the most common HTTP activities, including a callback for when data is

received, and helpers to deal with response headers and and TLS (for secure HTTPS connections).

For detailed information see: AdafruitHTTP (https://adafru.it/mff)

AdafruitMQTT

This class provides a basic MQTT client, allowing you to connect to remote MQTT brokers over a standard TCP

connection. You can establish open or secure connections to the MQTT broker, publish to topics, subscribe to up

to eight topics (including using subscribe wildcards like 'adafruit/+' to subscribe to all changes above '/adafruit'), and

capture subscribe events via a convenient callback handler.

For detailed information see: AdafruitMQTT (https://adafru.it/mfg) and AdafruitMQTTTopic (https://adafru.it/mfh)

AdafruitAIO

The AdafruitAIO family is a specialized version of the AdafruitMQTT classes, and is designed to work specifically with

Adafruit IO (https://adafru.it/eIC).
