Summary

The Adafruit AirLift WiFi co-processor provides wireless connectivity with both station and access point modes, temperature monitoring, and network configuration capabilities.

Description

This WiFi co-processor module enables wireless connectivity for Arduino projects, supporting both station mode (connecting to existing networks) and access point mode (creating its own network). It features chip temperature monitoring, configurable network settings including custom IP addresses, gateways, and subnets, and supports multiple simultaneous socket connections. The module includes an onboard LED for status indication and can operate in low-power modes for energy-efficient applications.
