Checking Wi-Fi connectivity with Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

When working on a project that depends on internet access, one of the first things to verify is that your Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 can connect to the internet. In Chapter 4, Setting Up a Lab Environment, we installed the WiFiNINA Arduino library. We need this library to make use of the Wi-Fi capabilities of the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010.

To verify that Wi-Fi is working on the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, we can use the WiFi Ping example, which is part of the WiFiNINA library. Follow these steps to verify that Wi-Fi is working:

1. Open the WiFiNINA | WiFiPing example. This example is a good way to verify that the Arduino can connect to your local wireless network and that it can access other servers ...
