WiFi SSL Client

This example creates a client object that connects and transfers data using always SSL.

Hardware Required

Circuit

The WiFi module is integrated on your board and you don't need any special circuitry to get this tutorial to work.

MKR WiFi 1010 Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

Vidor Arduino MKR VIDOR 4000

UNO wifi Arduino UNO WiFi Rev.2

Please note: these three boards use dedicated pins to communicate and select the WiFi module, therefore you have no restriction in the usage of the available digital pins connected to the header pins.

Code

You should have access to a 802.11b/g wireless network that connects to the internet for this example. You will need to change the network settings in the sketch to correspond to your particular networks SSID.

For networks using WPA/WPA2 Personal encryption, you need the SSID and password. The module will not connect to networks using WPA2 Enterprise encryption.


/*

This example creates a client object that connects and transfers

data using always SSL.

It is compatible with the methods normally related to plain

connections, like client.connect(host, port).
