Lesson 28: Connecting the Raspberry Pi Pico W to WiFi

This tutorial covers setting up a client-server relationship between a Raspberry Pi Pico W and a PC over Wi-Fi:

  • Introduction: Goal is to connect the Raspberry Pi Pico W to Wi-Fi and establish a client-server relationship with a PC.

  • Understanding Client-Server Relationship: Uses a McDonald’s analogy to explain the concept, with the PC as the client and the Pico W as the server.

  • Setting Up the Raspberry Pi Pico W as a Server: Explains how to connect to Wi-Fi, retrieve an IP address, and set up a UDP server.

  • Creating a Client on the PC: Provides code for the PC client to send commands to the Raspberry Pi Pico W server.

  • Sending and Receiving Data: Shows how the server decodes client commands and sends responses.

  • Practical Demonstration: Runs the server and client, showing data exchange with the Pico W displaying its IP on an OLED.
