About this course

Wireless connectivity is emerging as a key requirement for IoT applications ranging from end nodes to gateways to the cloud. While Wi-Fi is trending to be preferred method for internet connectivity, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) provides low power and short-range wireless communication for sensors. This class demonstrates enabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity into an embedded design. Microchip’s Wireless System-On-Module (WLSOM) is based on MPU integrated with Wi-Fi/BLE combo Link controller, targeted to reduce time to market by simplifying hardware design and software development. Attendees will have hands-on experience on bringing up the Wi-Fi and BLE interfaces of WLSOM, connection establishment and finally, exchange data using these interfaces.
