Hello everyone,

I'm a beginner in Arduino stuff sorry.
I've purchased this item: 007001001200 WIFI/BLE ARDBOX 20 I/O ANALOG HF MODBUS

I just can't get it work. 

I've managed to upload a basic program to the board (both the Arduino Leonardo and the Wifi Module side) but the Wifi Module won't be recognized.

/code
void loop() { 
 Serial.println(WiFi.status());  
delay(5000);
}
/code

I'm only getting status 255.

Probably I'm doing something wrong. Please help me, where should I start?

I've checked all the documentation I could find but it didn't really help me further.

Thank you.

Endre.

Hello,

When using the Ardbox Wifi you need to take into account that you must program two microcontrollers:

  • The Arduino Leonardo, which should contain your main application and interact with the wifi module through serial communication. The WifiModule library facilitates this process.
  • The wifi module, which is an ESP32. This program should interact with the Arduino, and perform the wifi related tasks. 

You can have a look at these posts, which might be of use to you:
