Eduroam/WPA2 Enterprise with Pi Pico W

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices
1

Greetings fellows,

I'm currently working on connecting a Raspberry Pi Pico W to my university's eduroam network*. I'm looking for a library to handle the WPA2 enterprise protocol that makes up eduroam and wish to stay with the Arduino IDE (v2.0.2), because there is already a running I2C communication written in the IDE from the Pico to another IC.

So far I have tried to use the WiFi.h library, which cannot do WPA2 enterprise apparently, WiFiNINA, which resulted in a error for missing certain Pins on the Pico W that are present at NINA, and the ESP32 solution on github made by martinius96**, which failed due to different chip architectures.

Do you have input on which library to use or how to realize the connection via a workaround? Thany you for your time in advance.

Sincerely,
Aaroniter

My limited experience is that eduroam can only really be used with personal accounts, not for "things" if that's what you are wanting to do.

The account management is taken care of. I emailed our IT and got a account with username and password for my Pi Pico. But to get the Pico to login into eudoram - thats the issue.

Nevertheless thank you for your reply.

Thats good - they are more flexible than ours!
