Hi - sorry I am new to Ardinuo in terms of using it. I have a beginners set and to programme it I need to connect the board to my PC via a hardware link. Do any of the new boards allow you to download/upload a programme via WiFi?
Thanks!
yep! Take a look at this: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ota-getting-started
Some boards have an OTA (over the air) update capability, which would let you provide new version of then code without the wire.
the first code you download needs to be over the cable. (that code will help connect to a WiFi network and configured to work with OTA)
Not all boards can do that. You posted in the MKRWifi1010 category, is this the board you have?
(if so, see https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/features/ota-getting-started/)
copycat
EDIT: not really
I've been slow today 
you can upload from IDE to MKR WiFi 1010 with my ArduinoOTA library which is based on Arduino's WIFI101OTA for MKR 1000
Hi - Thank you for answering but does “not really” mean don’t look at that link?
Hi - thank you for this. I understand that now! I haven’t got that card yet but was wondering if this is the card I HAVE to have to use WiFi?
Sorry for slow response - I didn’t get any notification- do notifications work on this site?
Thank you. I don’t really understand what that means at the moment - 
. I need to try things I think!
if you want the arduino brand, go for the MKRWifi1010
otherwise there are tons of ESP32 based boards (including from Arduino too) that have OTA capabilities too.
I've moved your topic to a more appropriate forum category as I don't think you have a MKR WiFi1010 (if you do then tell me and I'll move it back.
Please select the category for your questions carefully.
Thank you.
