WiFi and BluetoothSerial libraries to enable wireless communication.The following example demonstrates how to blink an LED connected to pin D13:
// Define the LED pin
const int ledPin = 13;
void setup() {
// Set the LED pin as an output
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// Turn the LED on
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
// Turn the LED off
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}
The following example shows how to connect the GIGA R1 WiFi to a WiFi network:
#include <WiFi.h>
// Replace with your network credentials
const char* ssid = "Your_SSID";
const char* password = "Your_PASSWORD";
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200); // Initialize serial communication
Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
// Connect to WiFi
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
// Wait until connected
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Connecting...");
}
// Print the IP address once connected
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi!");
Serial.print("IP Address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}
