User Manual
Arduino
You can use the AirLift with Arduino. Unlike CircuitPython, it work work with just about any Arduino chip, even a classic
Arduino UNO. However, if you want to use libraries like ArduinoJSON or add sensors and SD card, you'll really want an
ATSAMD21 (Cortex M0) or ATSAMD51 (Cortex M4), both of which have
plenty
or RAM
Arduino Wiring
We'll show wiring to the hardware SPI pins, since the library does not support software SPI at all. You will need female-
to-male header wires to get to these pins
Connect:
AirLift VIN to 5V power (even if you are on a 3V microcontroller, you'll need the current available from the 5V
power pin
AirLift GND to GND
AirLift SCK to the 6-pin SPI header SPI SCK
AirLift MOSI to the 6-pin SPI header SPI MOSI
AirLift MISO to the 6-pin SPI header SPI MISO
AirLift CS to digital 10 (you can change this later)
AirLift Busy to digital 7 (you can change this later)
AirLift Reset to digital 5 (you can change this later)
Library Install
We're using a variant of the Arduino WiFiNINA library, which is amazing and written by the Arduino team! The official
WiFi101 library won't work because it doesn't support the ability to change the pins.
So! We made a fork that you can install.
