WiFi or Ethernet Shield for IoT Nano 33 boards

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello,

I understand that there are diverse types of Nano IoT boards including the BLE Sense version. Is there any shield for these boards (preferably for the Sense models) that will permit either WiFi or Ethernet connectivity but have similar components for environment (temperature, pressure, humidity, sound, etc.) measurements? Anchored to a mother ship with BLE is something that I want to dispense away.

Any advice will be sincerely appreciated.

Kind regards.

one option is to use an esp-01 with AT firmeware and my WiFiEspAT library

And Nano 33 BLE works with Ethernet library (Wiznet W5x00 modules). The UIPEthernet library for enc28j60 modules doesn't yet support Nano 33 BLE.

btw: it is "Nano 33 IoT" (it has WiFi and BLE) and "Nano 33 BLE", which has only BLE

Thx @Juraj,

Yes, I understand the granular variations of the Nano33 family. Went for the Sense because the integrated sensors alone are worth the money (instead of fiddling with separate/discrete components).

I'll give the library you mentioned a try since BLE will not cut it for my intended applications. Of course, there are alternative shield options too now in the market.

Kind regards.
