Hello,
I'm working on a projet, I want to scan and get SSID, RSSI of WiFi and send it with Sigfox.
The MKRFOX isn't a device to use WiFi. Can I use any wireless shield with it ?
Do you have suggestions ?
The MKRFOX doesn't have the Uno style form that most shields require in order to be able to just plug them right into the board. There is a MKR2UNO adapter that would allow you to connect shields easily but you do need to be careful to make sure that the shield you use doesn't have 5 V logic levels, which would damage the 3.3 V MKRFOX. You might consider connecting an ESP8266 module. They are very cheap and the Espressif AT firmware does allow you to scan for APs and get the SSID, and RSSI of each via the AT+CWLAP command. See the instruction set documentation for more information:
I'm not sure if the Ai-Thinker AT firmware that the ESP8266 modules ship with will have the AT+CWLAP command as that firmware is a little different. You may need to find the equivalent command or install the Espressif AT firmware.
The ESP8266 modules have 3.3 V logic levels so they are compatible with the MKRFOX without any level shifting necessary.
Nice, thanks for your help
