Configuring your Arduino board for the IoT
In this recipe, we are going to finally learn how to use the on-board Wi-Fi chip that is on the MKR1000 board, and connect the board to your local Wi-Fi. This is a very important recipe, are we are going to use this in nearly every recipe of this book to build IoT projects.
Getting ready
Before we can use the Wi-Fi chip that is on the board, we need an Arduino library to be able to control it. The library for this chip is called the WiFi101 library and you can find it inside the Arduino library manager.
To access the library manager, simply go to Sketch | Include Library | Manage Libraries inside the Arduino IDE. Then, type wifi101 to find the library:
To install the library from there, simply click on the ...
