Summary
SPI-connected WiFi co-processor module providing wireless connectivity with configurable access points, sockets, and network operations.
Description
The Adafruit AirLift WiFi component is an ESP32-based co-processor that adds WiFi capability to microcontrollers via SPI. It supports both station and access point modes, multiple socket types (TCP/IP client/server, UDP), and various network operations. The module features RGB LED status indicators, configurable IP settings, enterprise WiFi support, and comprehensive network management capabilities. Typical applications include IoT devices, remote monitoring, web servers, and network-connected embedded systems.
