The chipKIT WF32 is based on the popular Arduino™ open-source hardware prototyping platform and adds the performance of the Microchip PIC32 microcontroller. The WF32 is the first board from Digilent to have a WiFi MRF24 and SD card on the board both with dedicated signals. The WF32 board takes advantage of the powerful PIC32MX695F512L microcontroller. This microcontroller features a 32-bit MIPS processor core running at 80Mhz, 512K of flash program memory, and 128K of SRAM data memory. The WF32 can be programmed using the Multi-Platform Integrated Development Environment (MPIDE), an environment based on the original Arduino IDE, modified to support PIC32. It contains everything needed to start developing embedded applications. The WF32 features a USB serial port interface for connection to the MPIDE and can be powered via USB or by an external power supply. In addition, the WF32 is fully compatible with the advanced Microchip MPLAB® IDE and works with all MPLAB® compatible in-system programmer/debuggers, such as the Microchip PICkit™3 or the Digilent chipKIT PGM. The WF32 is easy to use and suitable for both beginners and advanced users experimenting with electronics and embedded control systems. This project is an simple example of using a chipKIT uC32 board equipped with DIGILENT WiFi Shield to send and receive data to/from the Exosite cloud. The example chipkit_wifi_cloud code reads "ONOFF" data from the cloud, report "PING" back to the cloud if read result is not 0. For step by step instructions visit our website http://bit.ly/WVxzGK
