2.2.1 doesn't seem to like WiFiNINA

Using Arduino Programming Questions

#include <WiFiNINA.h>

WiFiNINA wifiNina;


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

error: 'WiFiNINA' does not name a type; did you mean 'WiFiNINA_h'?
WiFiNINA wifiNina;

Bard.Google.com has had me delete and reinstall WiFiNINA, check to be sure WiFiNINA was in the libraries folder (it wasn't, now it is), restart Arduino (2.2.1), and reboot the computer. I'm still getting the error above. Bard says the copy of WiFiNINA from Github might have something wrong with it. It also says I should contact this forum.

Does anybody have any ideas?

2

Which board are you using and which board have you got selected in the IDE ?

3

Have you looked at the WiFiNINA examples ?

For example, the WiFi server has this this line in it

WiFiServer server(80);

rather than using WiFiNINA as the data type

You do not need to create a object with this library so the second line is not necessary and is what is causing your issue.
As demonstrated in this example sketch:

/*
  This example connects to an encrypted WiFi network (WPA/WPA2).
  Then it prints the MAC address of the board,
  the IP address obtained, and other network details.
  Then it continuously pings given host specified by IP Address or name.

  Circuit:
  * Board with NINA module (Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, MKR VIDOR 4000 and Uno WiFi Rev.2)

Arduino Uno WiFi rev2 for both.

Thank you for your response. I'm beat. I'll take a good look at it....tomorrow!
