[Solved] WiFiNINA

Searching the libraries for Vidor I found the WiFiNINA lib that is supposed to support the Vidor4000. When I try to compile the WifiPing sketch i receive the following Warning and Error

WARNING: library SPI claims to run on (samd) architecture(s) and may be incompatible with your current board which runs on (samd_beta) architecture(s).

I did copy the VidorPeripherals Library code to my libraries folder under my sketches/libraries folder and I also did a include Libraries and selected VidorBase to add the base vidor headers to the project.

Hi Glenn,
we're completing wifi support. at the moment that should work in the graphics image but is not completely supported in the peripherals image. that should be updated early next week, adding also the serial interface which is now missing on both sides.

Bump? Both the VidorGraphics and VidorPeripherals repos haven't been updated in two weeks now...

Regarding the github repos, it would be great to write some better commit messages than just "update".

It helps to understand changes and also in case someone wants to debug something it can really help!

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Is there something new about WiFiNINA?, I also gets the error message:

......\packages\arduino\hardware\samd_beta\1.6.22\variants\mkrvidor/variant.h:125:25: error: 'SPIEx' was not declared in this scope

#define SPIWIFI SPIEx

almost there.. the graphics FPGA image we pushed yesterday has more or less everything needed. we just need to nail down some details on the arduino side.

Hi Everyone,

Please see the following thread on how to get the new library releases to use WiFiNINA: New SAMD beta core 1.6.23 release, bootloader and library updates - MKRVIDOR4000 - Arduino Forum

I still can't get wifinina to compile... Did the update:

New SAMD beta core 1.6.23 release, bootloader and library updates

Rather lengthy error list...

VA3SU:
I still can't get wifinina to compile... Did the update:

did you install it with Library Manager and update to 1.1.0?

Hi @VA3SU,

Could you please let us know what sketch you are compiling?

Sorry I should have said but I tried many of the sketches in the WifiNina, AP_Simplewebserver or Scannetworks.

Regards,
Kevin

And yes, did the library update to 1.1.0, and using the Arduino ide 1.8.5 of course.

Hi @VA3SU,

Could you please enable "Show verbose output during: compilation" in the IDE's preferences and provide the full build output.

I'm wondering if you library installation got corrupt somehow, as the Travis CI build for the library is working fine: Travis CI - Test and Deploy Your Code with Confidence

Thanks for looking. File attached.

Build of AP simple web server

Looks like a corrupted install of the lib. I downgraded it to 1.0 then back to 1.1 and all is well...

Regards and thanks for the help.

Kevin

The new updates work!! Thanks so much to the arduino team and to everyone else who worked on this. You guys rock!
