WiFi NINA Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.
- Author : Milan Ivancic
- Date : Feb 2026.
- Type : UART type
Application example shows device capability of connecting to a WiFi network and sending TCP/UDP messages to an echo server.

wifinina_cfg_setupThis function initializes Click configuration structure to initial values.
void wifinina_cfg_setup ( wifinina_cfg_t *cfg );wifinina_initThis function initializes all necessary pins and peripherals used for this Click board.
err_t wifinina_init ( wifinina_t *ctx, wifinina_cfg_t *cfg );wifinina_hw_resetThis function resets the device by toggling the RST pin state.
void wifinina_hw_reset ( wifinina_t *ctx );wifinina_cmd_runThis function sends a specified command to the Click module.
void wifinina_cmd_run ( wifinina_t *ctx, uint8_t *cmd );wifinina_cmd_setThis function sets a value to a specified command of the Click module.
void wifinina_cmd_set ( wifinina_t *ctx, uint8_t *cmd, uint8_t *value );wifinina_cmd_getThis function is used to get the value of a given command from the Click module.

}Application task is split in few stages:
- WIFININA_POWER_UP:
Powers up the device, performs a factory reset and reads system information.
- WIFININA_CONFIGURE_CONNECTION:
Configures connection to WiFi.
- WIFININA_WAIT_FOR_CONNECTION:
Checks the connection to WiFi access point.
- WIFININA_EXAMPLE:
Sends a TCP/UDP message to an echo server over a WiFi network.

}This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:
- Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
- UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.
The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
